If you read that whole thread, you will have noticed my reply and
questions, Sami's question and the total lack of responses by Daniel.
 
W/o further data I'd be reluctant to call that a success, at least in a
general sense.

A native dovecot-ceph object interface will certainly help performance,
but of course still be somewhat limited by the network nature of things
and also a total black box compared to maildir on a FS. 

Lastly, do you feel comfortable to put all your mail eggs into one
(software) storage basket?
At a million+ users I most certainly don't.
