Ok, I won't.

I wanted now to add a hack to my config to save a backup of the registry
save file every time it is saved.

But now I wonder if that would not be a good idea anyway?  I think it
could be done like in `gnus-save-newsrc-file' (look for
`backup-buffer').  Does that make sense?

I think I would then advice `gnus-registry-save' so that lots of backups
are kept, in a separate folder, to prevent future data loss.


Regards,

Michael.
