OK.  Do your docs include the instructions to do that?

You are unusual.  The vast majority of Gnus users don't customize or
even know about `gnus-refer-article-method'.  But it doesn't matter
since we're removing this anyhow.  Just mention it in the docs if you
haven't already (I haven't reviewed your patch, sorry!)
