It mainly means that the program handling the directory won't automatically 
check for changes.
I.e. if you change on of the files the data known to applications will still 
be the same and will be overwritten if any of those applications change the 
same contact.

In theory this could be handled very similar to how the maildir handler 
manages its directories, i.e. monitor for changes by other programs. Limited 
man power has so far not allowed to apply those enchancements to the vcard 
directory handler yet.

Cheers,
Kevin
