[VOTE] Deprecate maildir in 3.6.1, removal as part of 3.7.x
Hello all,
In order to prepare for the 3.6.1 release I did open this fix,
https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/659 ensuring files used by
the maildir implementation are sanitized, which I considered being a
blocker.
However, I did not open the fix for the 3.7.0 release as I personally
prefer removal.
Please bear in mind that MailDir costs us a bug maintenance effort and
still suffers from numerous bugs [1], follows a James specific sheme
limiting inter-operability (that was likely never tested), have
alternatives for zero dependency persistant mail server (namely JPA),
and finally [2] I propose a documented migration strategy.
As such, I call a vote to mark MailDir deprecated in 3.6.1 release and
removed in 3.7.0 release.
|Voting rules: - The vote starts at Sunday 19th of September 2021,
11am30 UTC+7 - The vote ends at |||Sunday| 26th||of September 2021, 11am30 UTC+7|
Best regards,
Benoit
