Yes, several more radical changes have been proposed. This series
(modulo issues Tomi points out) is relatively minor so we could probably
entertain some version of it while we think about the harder issues
related to configuration stored in the database.

There doesn't seem to be a good reason to drop ~/.notmuch-config
completely here. As Tomi notes, that would break notmuch for all current
users. I suppose I could live with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/notmuch/config (or
whatever) taking precedence if it exists.
