There are syntax differences in the config file between dovecot .99x as included in fedora versions before FC5 and the 1.x version in FC5, so after a distribution full-level upgrade to FC5 (not really supported but it mostly works...) the mailboxes disappear. The only reason that this is worth so much discussion is that it is going to happen to a lot of people.
I hadn't thought about upgrading for a while now since I had hoped most people already had upgraded from 0.99.x. But I guess there are lots of people using it from some distributions..
It would be easy to change the code to fallback to .subscriptions file if subscriptions isn't found, and the same for .customflags -> dovecot-keywords. Although for non-upgrade cases it can cause extra stat() calls which are a bit annoying.
