No, that's not it. The only reason I wrote it was because it was needed by the company that paid me for Dovecot development these recent months. And the reason why I didn't use your code was because I didn't like the idea of having to maintain two separate implementations of SQL load balancer. I don't have a problem with adding other peoples' code, as long as it solves the problem the right way (and code duplication isn't the right way).
