Both actually!  We already support METADATA on master, pretty much.
But it is hacked on over the top of the old ANNOTATEMORE code.  We
plan to clean that up as well.

Sure!  If you have someone who wants to learn about how the replication
system works now and what's necessary to get master/master working I
would love to chat to them.

The main thing isn't mailbox replication, it's side things like sieve
script replication, ACLs, etc.  Stuff that doesn't have a history or
change number on it at the moment, so you can't reconcile which end is
correct if they don't match.

Excellent.  I'm sorry I haven't got back to you on your features.  I know
you have a lot of interesting things to add, and I'd love to chat to you
more about them.  It's good to see other groups than just CMU and FastMail
working on Cyrus!
