Thanks for bringing this up. I've been wondering about it a bit myself as
well.

I wouldn't be unhappy if imap4 were left out of the next release, if that
release is done before 1) the protocol support is somewhat stable 2) there
is a mailbox implementation in Twisted proper (I currently have one, but not
in Twisted).
Of course, I also wouldn't be unhappy if it were included, assuming it is
in reasonable condition when someone actually does go ahead with the
release.

Speaking of newjelly... Is it definite yet whether this will be backwards
compatible with the current jelly yet? I assumed it would not be, but I've
heard some rumors...
Since our numbering scheme is currently "* glyph rolls dice.", maybe this
doesn't matter, but I think it *might* be nice if the next release was
1.1.0, if jelly compatibility isn't going to be maintained.
