deployment yes

versioned, clean downgrades and preserve permissions, get rid of 
obsolete files to keep the system clean over many years take more effort

hence i recommended use rpmbuild and build a *override* from recent 
source, in case of dovecot just build from source may be easy, if it 
comes to dependencies rpm become the easier and safer way because it 
would refuse to override incompatible libraries until you take care of 
the dependencie tree which does not come from rpm itself but is managed 
by using it
