Why not just apply the star-point class to a <g> SVG element container?

I may be jumping ahead here, but after completing a few courses here at Treehouse, I now become weary when I see a lot of copying and pasting! DRY!!

Rather than copy and paste the same .star-point class ten times to each of the latter circle elements, why not just wrap them inside a <g> SVG element container, and apply the class to that?

e.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Scalable Vector Graphics</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
