You can also see the email sent by others which shows how you can do

It's not the same thing.

It is not critical functionality. You can feasibly run a two-node
dovecot system on NFS without having director.
It seems to be critical enough to offer a replacement for paying
customers, while at the same time leaving the community edition
with no valid replacement.

Can you tell me what kind of functionality you are unable to achieve with the passdb solution?

Aki

Can you tell us what you are gaining (other than monitarily) by removing a completely functionally working feature that numerous people are using?

Adding new paid features is one thing (i.e. nginx), taking away a feature to replace it with a paid feature is something completely different.
