Not necessarily.  I, for example, have lots of mail archives from past
years, all in Babyl format (they are files produced by the `o'
command).  I don't intend to convert all of them to mbox, but I might
want to run Rmail on them occasionally.

Not sure what that means for what you are trying to argue.
