It should be copied, but perhaps our efforts are best spent
elsewhere.  I mean, nobody uses nnbabyl and few use nnmbox.  nnfolder
has users, and nnimap has a rapidly growing number of users.  But nnml
is the mail backend that most people use, so I think it makes sense
that it is the most feature complete mail backend...
