It would be nice if it was possible to do some interaction with the database from within Emacs; in particular to delete entries. Alternatively, just a line in the commendatory on how to open .addrs in the terminal.
sqlite3 .addrs
Use case: a contact of mine recently changed from one office to the other and thus had to change his email. Now I have two entries, of which one of them is preferred. I would like to delete the old one so that I don't use it.
delete from addrs where email = 'email@foo.com';
I'm am not sure how much work this would require, as it may (probably) involve creating a `blacklist' of email addresses never to be added to the database...
It's really not meant to be all that smart on the Lisp side. If you use a mailrc file, you can provide shortcuts for often-used addresses that will always expand to the right address.

Gnus harvest is great and on my system it has basically made bbdb3 obsolete (at least for email completion).
