I've never needed to use replicator. I don't even know what a pri/bu
pair is. I just have fetchmail feed to procmail which delivers messages
into my Dovecot maildir, and then access the Dovecot IMAP server with
an email client. Hopefully I'll be able to continue doing it this way.

Is there a document on the deprecations and their replacements? I'd
like to read it.

The preceding sentence is a huge relief for me. Thanks!
