This mailing list is "Discussion on drastically slimming-down IMAP", and

As I see it, he's listed features which are in the Exchange protocol and
in the unnamed protocol spoken by gmail's javascript heap and its
mothership.
That makes them worthy of discussion.
I know IETF dogma is that protocols shouldn't overlap. But it's a weak
kind of dogma: IMAP overlaps with POP, POP overlaps with Submission,
various IMAP extensions with ACAP and what's that about IMSP? I could go on.
actually with a layered approach, this dogma could be maintained, as the
facilities would be able to be specified separately.
Would be interesting to see wire-line protocol on GMail - I bet they use
Json
