2.4.17 --> 2.5.3 Delayed expunge?

(I tried sending this message directly to Patrick B., and it was 
rejected because utexas.edu apparently has a high spam score? Anyway...)

You have been extremely helpful:  thank you very much!

In particular, I was looking at the documentation here:

    http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.5.3/man.php

which is the same old incomplete stuff that we were dealing with before, 
and was just about to sift through the mailing list archive to find out 
where the real documentation is being developed these days.

To avoid confusion for armchair cyrus admins like myself, would it be 
possible to include a note at http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs
pointing people to the new and improved documentation at

   https://docs.cyrus.foundation/imap ?
