The whole discussion is about how Org mode should best follow "gnus:"
links.  I surely do not mind if Org uses ephemeral groups or any other
kind of machinery.  My only suggestion is that, whatever the mechanics,
Org following a "gnus:" link should manage so Gnus does not change the
article flags.  If Org asks Gnus to perform a search to locate a given
article, it seems like overkill to me, but I may well be wrong and not
see the advantages.
