+1. For some, the default "inbox unread" might just be the correct
thing, while others may want "new". I know that I don't need any special
tag for new mails, as I applied the "sync maildir flags" patch. So
configurable in .notmuch-config with a default of "inbox unread" to keep
behavior consistent seems the best way to me.
