[Dovecot] 1.0 beta 1 feature request: passwd-file vs. prefetch

Greetings,

it appears as though 1.0.beta1 doesn't support "userdb prefetch {}" with "passdb passwd-file { arg=/etc/mailpasswd }" even if the latter contains all necessary information.

Is this planned for a future version or would the benefits be too small to justify that?

Another idea: can userdb prefetch {} fall back to retrying the passdb entries to see if they come up with useful information?
