Yeah, that's my thinking as well.

Yeah, I heard it already from Paul Vixie :-)

I don't know; I just got rid of that code, since Jeff Honig said that
modern mh-e doesn't need it.

I think that's orthogonal to keeping that particular bit of UCI code...

Got me.

Yeah, and I question how relevant conflict is to modern mail setups, anyway.
Sounds to me like it's all safe to remove.
