   Hello,
   
   FYI we discussed quickly on the mailing list and we decided to release a 3.7.0 version prior to merging the Netty 4 upgrade. The rationals is to ensure stability and make sure it gets deployed and used before being included in a release. CF https://www.mail-archive.com/server-dev@james.apache.org/msg71619.html . With partial fetchs and compression we clearly showed we did not master fully the topic and that the TCP level test suite for IMAP (at least) misses the coverage to identify such defects... 
   
   I will start working on the (long overdue) 3.7.0 today, we should then be able to swap to `3.8.0-SNAPSHOT` and merge this very soon.
   
   Also I am very satisfied and confident about the status of this work. Personally, I would like us to take the time to do a regular performance test campaign on this change (using Gatling) to further validates performance benefits. This should also take 1-2 days.
   
   Cheers,
   
   Benoit
