I disagree in this case.
Cyrus and dovecot handle imap for two different scales of systems
right
now. Cyrus being a larger more complex system and dovecot being much
more straightforward.
I suspect that a lot more people, in terms of actual desktop installations,
would choose dovecot or not dovecot over cyrus-imap.
My main peave is with distribution bloat. I hate having 3 or 4 implementations
of the same thing, especially when I don't use any of them.
Having the RPM's on the CD is good enough for me. I can install it if
I really want it. I assume that a system that required capacity and
scalability, that wanted to use cyrus-imap, would have a competent
enough system administrator to execute 'rpm -Uvh cyrus-imap...' after
installation. :-)
