Actually, I meant to add "usually" or "by convention", but it got lost
during multiple rewordings... Sorry about that.

I know that there's no such limitation, since my current configuration
is exactly the revese (local MaildirStore listed as master, and remote
IMPAStore as slaves). I was wondering if that could cause issues.

My understanding was that it was a widely used convention, and that it
might have some implicit consequences.

OK, thanks for the explanation. So this is one of the consequences.
Reading the documentation, MaxMessages seems to be the only option that
makes the handling asymmetric. Am I right?

So in the end, the decision to make a store the Master really is "this
is one the one that holds everything I care about".
