deliver would replace either qmail-local(I believe, I've never used  
it in that way) or vdelivermail - but to do so, it needs to either be  
a drop in replacement and do everything that those two programs did  
(quota is another we haven't brought up yet), or we have to do that  
processing somehow (via Sieve/maildrop/procmail) prior to calling  
deliver.   OR - it has to be specifically placed in every  
user's .qmail delivery file.

Oh another one could be obeying qmail extension addresses, which  
leads us to .qmail-user-alt files that need to be processed too.. it  
depends on your installation and how you want to use dovecot's  
deliver.   There's a lot that needs to be addressed if one wants to  
try and use dovecot's deliver.   Not that it's not possible, but I  
wouldn't consider it a drop in replacement.
