Hey, on a related note, I've just noticed that 
"cyrus-imapd/doc/legacy/install-upgrade.html" is not up on cyrusimap.org 
and there doesn't appear to be any equivalent.  Is there a plan for this?

    I'll confess that I'm a little perplexed by how the stuff at
    cyrusimap.org is updated or maintained.  The document tree doesn't
    seem to match what I see in git.

    I'm not trying to be whiny here; Hell, I'll even help with it.  I
    just don't know what the general plan is, or where things are
    supposed to go.

Seeing as I'm in the midst of a 2.3.16 => 2.5.10 upgrade, I can probably 
help, but I also need to find the proper information.

Cheers,
     -nic
