It is also natural that critical servers should always be running the

but suitable internal testing cycle...
I have never understood anyone who would use a distro for critical
applications that forces them to use 3+ year old software.
POLA - principle of least astonishment. You cannot possibly oversee what
breaks for a gazillion of users if you update. It's not as though the
dovecot branches had strictly been regression-fixes only (as GCC is, for
instance).
