I think that would make things way too complicated. I like the simple
approach we have now; whatever marks are associated with the article
are preserved across the move. That those marks might be interpreted
differently due to the use of total or auto expire is something for
the user to deal with. Since neither auto nor total expire is set as
a default, presumably a user who sets them for a given group knows
what she is doing. I think that changing marks behind the user's back
only leads to (probably unpleasant) surprise.
