Does the quota include deleted but not yet expunged mails in v2.3 with delayed expunge?

The way it works, as far as I understand it. (If I'm wrong, someone please 
correct me.) Using delayed expunge there are now 3 stages in message 
removal:

1) Message marked deleted, but not yet expunged (or purged or folders 
compacted--different clients use different terminology). These show up in 
the mailbox in a deleted state, but they still count towards quota.

2) Message expunged. Delayed expunge means the physical file still lives in 
the mailbox directory on the imap store, and it can be recovered with a 
command-line unexpunge. These are completely invisible to the IMAP clients, 
and as such I don't believe they count towards quota.

3) After cyr_expire's nightly run any messages in stage 2 that are old 
enough (default 3 days, I think) are physically deleted from the disk.
