No it's not consistent. The reason qmail-local doesn't deliver when
the sticky bit is set, is that you might be in the process of writing
out a new .qmail-file.
Doing .qmail-updates atomically removes the need for sticky-bitness. Since
pop3 operations are atomic (in the updates they do anyway), and there is no
configfile for pop3 in the homedir, I disagree.
