I mean ... I read this paragraph, and I can't help but think it proves my
point?

I acknowledge that the reality on the ground is that a number of MUAs
do use Maildir as a mailbox storage backend, for reasons I cannot grasp.
It does occur to me that maybe a "thin layer" that would be easy to write
for nmh would be to maintain links from a MH-style mailspool to the
appropriate Maildir file.
