I'd say the main gotcha is that this will only work with back ends which
support article editing. AFAIK nnml shouldn't be a problem, but this
won't work e.g. with nnimap. 

Therefore, the more general way would be to use the Gnus registry. As
Bastien already wrote, CVS Gnus has some support for this, but it still
needs work (e.g. there are no gnus-summary-limit commands for registry
marks yet).
