IIUC, the In-Reply-To header contains a pointer to just one message,
whereas the References header contains pointers to many messages.
With the multiple messages, Gnus can fill gaps in the threading.  I
like the filling-gaps feature.

Unless I misunderstood something, I vote for keeping References.
