I think, that woody (and courier-imap 1.4.3) is used by many many admins
and servers. But you're right, that sarge is (hopefully) almost released
and this problem would be solved automatically, then.
It may also depend on how difficult it would be, to add such an option to
exim - but that's up to Philip's opinion.
Maybe woody users should just not use the maildir_size_file option.
