Tried it, it has long processes and generation of files over Maildirs, and it cannot handle 61656 Maildirs. For sure I tried it several times from 1999. For me, it would be waste of time to touch it again. Building future on Gnus would be disaster, I would not achieve anything with it for last many years.
