I assume version 2.3.X is no longer receiving any security fixes. If
that is the case, are there plans for pkgsrc to upgrade mail/dovecot2

removed completely?


Yeh, I'm dreading this. I think 
the only sensible option is to import  2.4.x as a completely new package, to be absolutely certain that users  do not accidentally get upgraded to a version that completely breaks  their mail systems.

2.3.x should stay for as lo
ng as it proves useful, and to give time for  people to plan and migrate their systems, either to 2.4 or to something  else entirely that won't break things.
