And I don't think that'll fly -- people has to be able to just setq
stuff in their .gnus files.

So while the patch is a valiant effort, I don't think it really solves
any problems -- it just tries to wallpaper over the problems, but the
wall is full of holes and I think the result is even more confusing that
what we have today.

So I'm not applying this and I'm closing this bug report.
