Scoring is pretty backend-independent, I think - at least, no part of
the backend interface seems to have anything to do with scoring.
Expiry is indeed a bit different with nnmaildir, but no less
expressive than with other backends.  So you can do everything you're
doing now; you just have to express it differently.  You can ignore
the always-marks and never-marks stuff; they're proof-of-concept
features that ought to be added to Gnus proper or abandoned entirely.
