+\r
+So I don't really like having the database stored in the maildir.\r
+There are a couple reasons for this:\r
+\r
+- I would prefer to keep all notmuch stuff together, including all\r
+ config files, data files, etc. In my opinion, this just makes\r
+ things easier to keep track of. No need to guess where any relevant\r
+ notmuch data is if it's all stored together in one place.\r
+\r
+- I would prefer to not clutter my mail directories with anything\r
+ that's not mail. The notmuch database is definitely related to my\r
+ mail, but it's not exactly my mail, so I'd rather keep it somewhere\r
+ else. (I think there's a whole other thread to be started about\r
+ this, because I think the config should also hold the location of\r
+ the maildir to be indexed, not the path to the index itself, which\r
+ then makes implicit assumptions about where the maildir is.) This\r
+ point is also probably related to the fact that I've had to change\r
+ MUAs too many times to trust one indefinitely. So basically I want\r
+ to keep my mail wholly separate from anything that's processing it.\r
+\r
+I think Carl said he wanted to keep the ability to specify exactly\r
+where the database is stored, so if we could move away from something\r
+that makes any implicit assumptions about relative paths between the\r
+database and the maildir, then all should be ok.\r
+\r
+> Would it be enough to just read .notmuch/config and fall back to\r
+> .notmuch-config otherwise?\r
+\r
+Yes, this is a good idea. I'll try to come up with a patch for this.\r
