Hi!

Yes, director and replicator are removed, and won't be available for pro users 
either.

For NFS setups (or similar shared setups), we have documented a way to use Lua 
to run a director-like setup, see 

https://doc.dovecot.org/3.0/configuration_manual/howto/director_with_lua/ 

Regards to replication, doveadm sync is not being removed. So you can still run 
doveadm sync on your system to have a primary / backup setup.
