I was thinking the same, that it may be time for a sup2 repository.

This is very premature, but are there any thoughts to integrate some of 
the work done in the sup forks. I am thinking in particular of the imap 
work ezyang did -- I adopted his fork as he seemed to be the most active 
with regards to imap folder handling, notably propagating updates.

It would be nice to consolidate the features many of these forks 
addressed.. though, I have no idea how this can be easily facilitated.

Regards,
Steven
