New kid on the block: Zimbra?

So, anybody here notice http://www.zimbra.com yet?

I have to admit the web client seems pretty nice. Though, the idea of 
ditching Cyrus is a difficult one to imagine, especially for a server 
that really hasn't proven itself yet, as far as I can tell.

It looks like they support some form of Sieve scripts which happen to be 
stored in LDAP. Though, I don't see that they support the QUOTA 
extension or ACLs.

In terms of the message store, it's sorta like Cyrus: messages are 
stored in files, one file per message. They too store meta data in 
separate structures, but instead of the cache files of Cyrus, they 
actually store that info in a relational db, MySQL. Would that actually 
be any faster and/or more scalable?
