But not everyone has the same requirements profile, and particularly not yours.

If I'm using Dovecot 1.0.X to serve a handful of users with Maildirs, I don't
care a bit even for 90% of performance back or forth. I do care about maintenance.

If it works well in practice and is not known to be insecure, why mess with it.

"Works well" in the reporter's case is a matter of analyzing what's up before
figuring out all the nitty-gritty details of rebuilding the package just to have
an update. If you miss any migration needs for the new version, or a distro
patch, you're way more screwed than the OP.
