And given Postfix, Exim, etc, are mature and feature complete, why would
you want to at this time?

"Product".  Open source developers usually don't refer to new projects
as "products".

It seems pretty clear your long term goal with this is to sew up Dovecot
into a single source integrated stack that doesn't require an external
MTA, and to sell the stack as a product.

If this is your motivation behind this MTA, please state so.  If this
future integrated Dovecot stack product may negatively impact current
open source Dovecot users, please state so.
