Fully-featured as far as RFCs are concerned, but not necessarily
drop-in compatible with earlier Postfix configurations or file
formats.
Ideally this means eliminating thousands of lines of non-obvious
code, either by removing the feature or workaround altogether, or
by replacing it with code that is easier to maintain but not 100%
compatible. This will be a slow process.
