I just thought that having dovecot die horribly when the clock is adjusted (using settimeofday() I assume) wasn't the most desirable behaviour.
Well, although I agree with you, many unexpected things can happen (esp. in Unix) when you go into the past :-(
From programmer's point of view it can be difficult to try to correctly handle clock going backwards. I've never even bothered trying, since it really shouldn't happen. :)
