Excellent!  There has been some interesting discussion in bugzilla about
this issue.  I am glad they will modify this for FC4.  Having to include
mysql and postgresql just to use dovecot is major bloat for most users
and IMHO a security risk.  It will make security audits more difficult
since unused packages are included and adds just that much more code
that could have an exploit in it.
