This *feels" to me like a parent company looking to remove features from the open source version in order to add feature differentiation to the paid version.
I've loved the Dovecot project for over a decade and a half. And incidentally I have a very warm spot in my heart for Timo and Aki, thanks to Dovecot and especially this mailing list.
I've also loved the PowerDNS project for a decade and a half, so this removal of _existing functionality_ is doubly worrisome. I'd like both projects to be monetisable and profitable enough to their parent so that they continue on for a very, very long time.
But removing long-standing features is a bad look. Please reconsider this decision.
