Well, one other place I know where the plugged status is used is in
queueing sent messages for later mass dispatch.

Yes, but IIUC that would make the agent store a twin copy of the

gnus-agent-eagerly-store-articles - but right now I can't set that per
server.

Anyway it was just a thought. I'm perfectly fine with my current setup.
