I think such a note would be helpful. Also a comment in the relevant
section of the FAQ; since it basically gives wrong information now.

Thanks for the explanation.

Please consider this another request for a configuration option to
disable the transaction feature. It's a feature I have no need for
(it's easy to restore the wordlist from backup, or regenerate it); and
as it stands it prevents me from using new versions of bogofilter at
all (though I guess I could look at the alternative --with-database
options).
