I share this POV. Mixing the capabilities of sieve filters and local filters 
in one configuration frontend will make the user helpless. You have vacation 
and bounce on the sieve side, execution of scripts or piping through filters 
on the other (local) side. You could mix both worlds in the GUI and you'll 
never know what will end on the server.
