Also worth noting Zarafa was added following a very long process on the
infrastructure list which was based around trying to find a server that
could be used to provide a Fedora project calendaring system, which met
certain requirements. We went through a _lot_ of options and wound up
with Zarafa (and possibly eGroupware) as the best candidates. Check the
infrastructure list archive for more details.

That doesn't negate anything Rahul said, it's still perfectly possible
to add other systems if someone wants them; just explaining the process
which led to Zarafa being added. Do you know of something particularly
problematic about Zarafa? If so, infrastructure would probably like to
know.
