looks like development stalled in 2007.
The pros:
- doesn't seem to conflict with 2.2
- no bugs reported

The cons:
- needs to go through new
- last activity in svn 2 month ago
- pretty much unsupported from debian (based on reading 
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382376> and looking at 
changelog/ debian's svn)

Now, since cyrus-impad is really a beast, and hence is no fun to support 
security-wise I must admit that I don't think we have the resources to 
include another (co-installable) version of it without knowing that we do 
have good Debian support for it. Otherwise it might just sit in the karmic 
repositories, with later known security vulnerabilities, which noone would 
volunteer to fix,

-1 from me hence.

Cheers,
   Stefan.
