I think these flags are what most Gnus users would want.  Annotations
are nice but in my experience very few users care for them.

I think that each backend should either provide its own flag storage
system or defer to use the gnus-registry, which can track flags as
extra data associated with the message-ID.  That way we can implement
the user flags gradually, starting in IMAP, while presenting a
consistent flag storage system to the users.
