So changes to Seen marks are initiated by Gnus, and changes to Recent
marks are initiated by servers (not backends, I think - nnimap just
relays the Recent marks it gets from the server, it doesn't track them
internally, right?).
I think backends just pass marks between servers and Gnus. They don't
know where changes are initiated; they just keep everybody
synchronized. If backends store Seen, nothing changes - it just makes
it easier for users to manipulate those marks from outside Gnus. They
wouldn't normally do this, but if they want to, why try to stop them?
