Absolutely.

I would like to say that I appreciate all the work Matthias has done to
incorporate the transactional DB into bogofilter, but it does need to be
more transparent and I think that expanding bogofilter.cf to include the
Berkeley DB config options (and presumably modifying bogofilter et al to
do DB housekeeping in the background?) would go a long way towards this
goal.
