Not really.

If you promote this as a feature of a new version, then you would  
need to qualify it by saying when used with specific IMAP servers.

I might be a good idea to add to the Requirements page [1] beyond this :

> # An IMAP server which supports IMAP 4 rev 1

to also recommend one that supports sorting [2] for best performance.

Also, saying WFM without mentioning what platform, what IMAP server  
software and version is similar to saying a certain JavaScript change  
WFM without mentioning what platform, what browser and version you  
tested. The responses seemed odd to me. If developers really only  
test using a small set of IMAP servers, then that small set should be  
delineated somehow.
