I think that Gnus could do better even with nntp groups. For example,
there is a number for which Gnus knows that all articles less than
this number are read. So the very old FAQ article with number 2 or
so, which has long been read, does not count in this algorithm.
I know that it will take some time to think about it, but I think
things can be improved.
