Right. So I'd allow for a generic "save a file to the cloud" facility
that doesn't have any of the deltas.

Basically Google Reader. I don't like that as much as just
synchronizing the configuration, although I'm sure some would like it.
It seems like an extreme compared to just synchronizing the things you
listed.
I would make a final Gnus release of the current series and start a new
"Cloudy" or "Cumulonimbus Gnus" whichever way you go. FWIW I'd make it
flexible enough that people can sync just their marks or go all the way
up to 100% synchronized configuration.
