I remember people saying bare newlines violated RFC's, but shouldn't
cyrus be as lenient as possible in what it accepts, and as compliant as
possible in what it sends/produces?
The authors of Cyrus have historically been leading proponents of "be
liberal considered harmful", since it just leads to more software
generated non-compliant protocol and we all end up in a bigger mess.
The bare newlines-rejection has never been a problem for us; could it
be that there's some local piece of software that tends to generate
them a lot that should be fixed?
I can't think of any ramifications to your fix, but it's unlikely
we'll incorporate it into the base distribution.
