So what shall do? Shall I move to ~/Library/Metadata/? I also could move ~/
documents/ but my stuff is an a document as much as .emlx is a document.

Yes, they really think that all the stuff in ~/Library (beside there own
indexable and findable stuff from Mail, Safari e.c.t) are system files which are
worth to get protected. The crux is that they are right if you think about a
system file as a file that can harm the system when it is faulty or changed.
But this is bad by design. ~/Library is user data and never should be able to do
so.

Yes, they forgot there own definition about "objects" and "files".

In a german group there was a joke. "Apple has doubled the personal of the
security department. Now they have a loyer and a press spokesmen."
