I think most people would. I know I keep my complete address book in
Evolution and only add the entries that I need to in the OO one. With
Palm support in Evo and the fact that you need an entry for most people
nowadays in your mailer I would think that's the more common scenario. 

I know I would much rather enter all my contacts in Evo and export them
to OO when I needed them instead of the other way around.
