Because dima isn't MIA per se, he is mostly MIA.  From experience, Dima
doesn't have time to deal with SASL unless something very weird happens, but
he DOES show up from time to time.

Dima, please reply soon.  I did ask you a lot of time ago, and got no reply.
Nobody from d-d or [EMAIL PROTECTED] spoke up against removing old sasl, either.

I am willing to help with new sasl, but we really, really have no good
reasons I can see for keeping old SASL in Debian, and I am *not* willing to
help to keep it secure.  Heck, not even qmail uses old sasl anymore, so we
don't even have that aggravating reason to keep it around anymore...

Upstream has deprecated this old version of SASL more than 3 years ago.  It
is about time we let it rest in peace.
