Good evening, I do not know the reason for sure, but I was using [extra-testing] on my mail server for some stupid reason (likely from back when I was a tester) and pulled in the later version of dovecot.
The issue with it is they have changed the configuration a lot. I did initially try patching my configs to just get it to work, but so much has changed it appears the best thing to do would be to remove your old configs, start from a clean slate, and reconfigure dovecot all over again. As a disclaimer, I only briefly read through the breaking changes, it might not be as difficult as I currently anticipate to migrate, but it definitely is not a quick process. I believe this is a possible reason for it being held back for so long, and thankfully it has because I have not the time or energy right now to redo my email server configs. You can read through the long list of config changes here [1]. Would be curious to know the official reason for the package being held back though.
