But you know the code better than I do and you have more experience, so I trust you with that decision. > We will provide 2.0 backports for squeeze but they will not be part of the > official Debian release. Thank you, I can live with that. Timo had a good point which could lower your work a little bit. But I guess you developers have put some thought into this decision. So again: I trust you on this. Thank you for your fast response. I retitled this report. Please leave it open until Dovecot v2.0 is backported. I hope tagging it with squeeze was not wrong. Paul
