OK, I'll bite.  Since a  couple of times I've had to restore mail using 
reconstruct after having lost all the metadata, I'm wondering what the 
point is of either cyrdump or ctl_mboxlist list if you can't restore the 
mail spool from their outputs?

What does cyrdump do, anyway?  I would expect it to also backup all the 
metadata; else it amounts to tar'ing up ~/cyrus/user.
