Yes. Having marks as separate files is more concurrency-friendly, for
programs that all use this scheme (right now, that just means
concurrent Gnusae): when one program alters one piece of information
(say, a mark), it does not make it harder for another program to find
another piece of information (say, the message contents). I posted
this idea to one of DJB's lists, but didn't get much response.

There's that too.
