Yes, maybe.  But it's not easy.  Gnus uses article numbers to identify
messages, like, EVERYWHERE.  So it's not at all easy to transition to
article numbers.

Also, note that with article numbers, it's sufficient to change
"1-1000" to "1-2000" (in ~/.newsrc) to indicate that you've read 1000
more messages.  With message ids, that's not so simple...
