No. The only thing removed is the director component. Proxying works, IMAP backends are not removed. Director is responsible for mapping users to particular hosts. 

This change will affect mostly people with more than 1-2 backends, with 2 backends you can still have primary/backup setup. Dovecot will still happily proxy connections to your backends.
