I expect FQGNs probably would be less error-prone - you can't
accidentally create a new server that way, can you?  But then someone
ought to change the docstring for gnus-message-archive-group;
currently, it discourages use of FQGNs.

How does gnus-outgoing-message-group relate to all this?  Is it
obsoleted by g-m-a-g?  Or used for something slightly different?
