I don't know why there is so much resistance to supporting functionality that is mostly a standard feature with other pop3/imap servers, and which also makes it *much* easier to migrate to dovecot from other solutions which support the domain stripping.

I don't remember having seen all that much requests for this feature. Perhaps lately several people have asked for it, but for the last 3 years there haven't been all that many people.

If I added a new setting for every single feature people asked, dovecot-example.conf would be much larger than it currently is. And it already is too large I think. I'm not asking for every new feature, just one that I think fits in with

You already provide the ability built in to "strip domains" per say, with the %u and %d values built in. To accomplish what I would like to do, I only need to be able to pass whatever combination of these values I wish to my passdb and userdb functions of choice.
