I have no issue with the name gnus-cloud.el. Given the modern era, it has come
to simply mean "The data lives on someone else's computer". I don't see any
negative connotations, or misleading meaning.The data is just using Gnus to
put the data "somewhere else", and being what Gnus is, that somewhere else
happens to be an IMAP server (though really, it could be anywhere at all,
you're just using Gnus as an interface to fetch it as though it were on a
news/mail server).
