Ken, Ellie,

Thanks for the information.

Ellie, I see that #2100 has everything to be merged, hasn't it? What's 
blocking it?

Regards,
Anatoli

No idea, but it's there if you want it!  Speculating wildly, it might be 
useful for JMAP?

It's more likely to disappear entirely (see 
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/2100) in favour of 
Prometheus (which is more powerful, more flexible, more human-readable, 
and is actually used by Fastmail -- and therefore more tested).  But it 
won't disappear from a stable branch, so it won't be a surprise when it 
does.

Cheers,
