Agreed. The current implementation of automagically logging things in
the library would be undesirable here. That specific thing shouldn't be
too hard to change. Also worth thinking about is (optionally) using the
Maildir to log most tag changes; Maildirs are designed (imperfectly, but
still) to support simulataneous writes. The database could then catch
up by reading the Maildir.
