Etch has both 2.1.18 and 2.2.13, so you can upgrade to Etch before you
upgrade Cyrus to 2.2.13.

I did it without real problems.

But I have seen that some (not all) clients are a lot slower when they
switch to another folder (Thunderbird client is used). I am not sure
what the reason is. It is not an authentication-issue because
testsaslauthd works fast.
