Exclusive, no.  Default, fine.  We should be able to plugin any number
of modules to do this besides ingo (even if ingo is the only one right now).

My only concern here would be a migration utility for those using the
current IMP filters to be able to somehow go to ingo easily.  If they
have a large set of rules, they won't want to re-do this by hand.

Sounds like a good idea to me, if that matters.
