What distribution cutomize is definetly NOT something we must care. We
should use our own configuration file to let users change the
destination path (if needed) and we're _done_.

Also, this customization can be done by the distribution maintainers
_if_ they want to support a predefined configuration file for their
users.

There are still ways for improvements (see above ,-p) and we need more
tests reviews against topics in next before shooting a stable release.

The best I can do is a release candidate (RC) which may be a good thing
to encourage people to test the current state of delevopment.

The distribution packaging is done by distribution maintainers or users.
It is not done by upstream (OfflineIMAP developers and maintainer¹). We
try to make the integration work as easy as possible, though.


1. Yes, I know John did packages for debian. But what he did  as a
debian contributor does _NOT_ concern what he did as a maintainer for
OfflineIMAP.
