I think at this time it would be taking too much of a chance. I would think 
the Distibutions should test and debug it first, and I am seeing that the 
Mandriva maintainer for Cyrus-Imap just upgraded it to 2.3.16. The 
distributions have a much larger testing audience, especially during the 
cooker/factory cycle. Let them do it first.
Just my 2c
