The manual only says what the agent does.  But the agent isn't
involved at all for those groups that are un-agentized.

The manual is hard to understand and possibly misleading, but it's
not really wrong.

I like the current behavior, so my suggestion is to fix the
documentation so that it explains better what is going on.

Maybe it would also be nice to offer an easy way of agentizing all
servers where that makes sense (ie, those which talk over the
network).  Something like a gnus-agent-add-all-servers command in the
*Servers* buffer, perhaps.
