Yup. This was mainly done for forward/backward compatibility. Cyrus
uses one internal representation of the folder hierarchy internally, and
allowing both subfolders of INBOX and toplevel personal folders would
have made the code a big mess (speaking as the person who wrote the
altnamespace/unixhiersep code).
Keep in mind that these options are mutually exclusive (ie, you can use
one without the other).
