For what it's worth I just went to the Fedora Core 5 test release download page and Fedora still has Dovecot 0.99.14 in it's list of files. I'm guessing they are afraid of the Alpha label. I'd really like to see Fedora 5 have Dovecot 1.0. You might want to look into this.

It's not the 'alpha' label that is the problem, as far as I can tell, it's more a case of someone actually maintaining the package. There was a discussion about this on the Fedora Devel mailing list a few weeks ago whereby a small number of us were petitioning dovecot to be upgraded, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
I don't think it would fall on deaf ears if version 1.0 were declared. I think this is an example where the "alpha" label or even "beta 1" would be a barrier. if Timo declared 1.0 then it wouldn't be an issue.
