do you have any reference here? #966273 still asks for the removal of fam

sorry for the late reply, the discussion was in

Alright, thanks for the pointer. This contains very little reasoning,
though. (As opposed to the arguments brought up by Glenn.)
Given courier-imap had several issues in the past with FAM (see #357769,
#578937, #599682), I think it's actually safer to just depend on (and
build against) gamin, instead. I certainly run courier-imap on gamin
exclusively on my systems.
Thus, unless a good reason and a couple of bug fixes pop up, I'd like to
leave it this way and not revert the change for courier.
Best Regards
Markus
