Isn't this something that can go into the next stable update? This is
a critical bug and it is sure that people _will_ lose important data
when they upgrade their cyrus-imapd.
I don't think that fixing the description of the upgrading procedure
is enough. If it is possible, to get an updated package into the next
stable update, this should be done.
I was quite lucky, I only lost 10 hrs of mails and the message status
information. But we know that other people _will_ lose more data, if
this won't be fixed.

Jim
