I have a recently deployed dovecot server and am readying another. Upon updating to rc12, I note the following change in the default dovecot.conf file:

Where did you get rc12? In my tarball there are still:
# mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir # mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
No "~/.maildir" anywhere, and I don't recommend using it either.
Probably from Gentoo as we sed the config file a bit for Gentoo defaults and package USE flag selection.
The defaultt maildir location on Gentoo has always been ~/.maildir instead of ~/Maildir. Why this is, I really don't know - you'll have to speak with the net-mail team (of which I'm not a member)
This isn't new behaviour either - the Gentoo ebuild has been doing it since I took it over in the 0.99 range :)
