:-) It really could go either way. My only concern about putting it in
libgmail2 is that some applications just don't need it. Imagine I am
writing a program that is just going to download your gmail address book
and add the entries into Evolution (or something like this). I don't
need emergency recovery because I don't delete any contacts -- so why
waste my time and space doing it?

Though... it's true that some applications will probably want it, and
for that reason maybe we want to make a flag in libgmail2 that is like
"do emergency backups" or whatever.

I'm willing to say it's a feature if we get to it, but I think it should
probably be lower on the priority list than adding more functionality.
