If I remember right, the autocreate patches don't work in a Cyrus Murder 
(cluster).  Until the autocreate patches work with all the supported ways 
of running Cyrus IMAP, I don't think they will be included.

I can understand your issue though.  The bigger Cyrus sites already use 
scripts to create new mailboxes when new users are created.  The really 
small sites probably don't mind creating mailboxes by hand.  The sites 
with more than 10 but fewer than 100 users probably are not satisfied by 
either solution.
