The reason for shipping 3028 was that the Exim documentation for Sieve
was not written, and it seemed "friendly" to provide people with the
RFC. However, if there are issues with this, I'm not going to argue.
I'll just remove it. Folks will have to find it for themselves.

4.22 will be released soon - probably in a few hours time. This is just
in time...
