Yes, these are good for the enterprise and the user alike.
One thing I would like to see, which Redhat does not have, is a hashed
mail spool. If they aren't going to store messages in maildir format, or
some other high load friendly format, then they should imho, hash the
mailspool, or allow it to be hashed without having to patch and recompile
procmail and the popper.
I would also like to see them use cucipop instead of qpopper, since its a
perfect match for procmail............
A traditional mail spool does not scale well above say 2500 users.

I think they are moving in the direction you want. It just takes baby
steps, one step at a time. Journaling file systems are not that far off
from being in Redhat.....
