[Dovecot] status & use-case of fts_solr?

i've deployed a Solr server, and setup Dovecot for *both* squat & solr FTS.

iiuc, reading at,

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr

as of dovecot v1.1.2, squat's required for IMAP compliance; solr search breaks it. is that still the case in v1.2? Is IMAP-compliant Solr search possible? planned?

if the goal is fast, indexed FTS of dovecot IMAP stores from within a MUA, is fts_solr even helpful? or is it targeted for web interfaces to search ... ?

thanks.
