Exactly; I have tried to explain that in the long description of a
patch.

Well, evolve is evolve, and mq is mq. In my opinion, while they solve
similar problems, they however do different things. While evolve is
cool and great, sometimes patch-orientedness of mq is what better fits
the task.

And yes, sure, it'd be cool if we had those headers supported on
the import command too.
