FreeBSD are also currently with 2.3.X: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/main/mail/dovecot There is a bug open to upgrade to 2.4.X with patches which may be useful to pkgsrc developers: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286695 The only concern I have, Dovecot developers mainly work with Linux, so major new version releases could be trouble with Illumos/Solaris and BSD.
