None that I know of.  CMU uses unixhierarchysep: no quite successfully, 
many other sites use "yes" equally successfully.

"yes" give you the advantage of being able to have dots in the user names 
(for inboxes), which is important for some installations.

Note that within a murder enviornment you need to use the same setting 
throughout.

Ken -- is unixhierarchysep: yes required for virtdomains?  I don't 
recall...
