  78 I just recently read [1] again, I think it's a good one.\r
  79 \r
  80 It makes me ask the question, why should we ask the user to make that\r
  81 decision? The decision of what to do with the config option, or even\r
  82 whether to upgrade the database or not. Basically the decision is made\r
  83 when the user decides to upgrade notmuch. Once the user has upgraded\r
  84 notmuch his choices are to upgrade the database or downgrade notmuch.\r
  85 \r
  86 The user would probably just like to get on with the mail reading, which\r
  87 is probably also just means to an end!\r
