it was removed in gentoo recently so now its only 2.x if one still like 
to use dovecot, for stabalise it could aswell just change to cyrus imapd 
:=)

with is still in gentoo and opensuse atleast, fun part of opensource is 
that it gets removed imho to fast just becurse there is no ongoing 
devolopment, not since its contains bugs or are old, why cant stable 
software continue to work ?

i have readded dovecot 1.2.17 into local overlay so my mailserver does 
not break of laziness admins that just want to clean up trees :(
