I'm guessing this would not apply if your WHOLE schematic (CCA) plugged into
a backplane, say, such that you were getting your power from the backplane
as well as transmitting and receiving other single-ended (ground referenced)
signals to/from other CCAs on the same backplane. I would think you would
not want a ferrite in the Ground path on a CCA in this scenario.

You should keep at least one common reference signal solid; otherwise any
perturbance across the Ferrite (and it will
be; that's why it is there) will be superimposed on your signals.

If you use it to reject noise from power supply and your WHOLE schematic is
behind the ferrite - it is OK and even
desirable; if the ferrite is in between two parts of the sch. that are
supposed to share common GND - bad idea.
