Are there any Gmail insiders who can comment on this alleged change? Is
it for everybody? Is it only for new accounts? If I ask google about
"gmail imap draft folder", I seem to be getting '[Gmail]/Drafts' version,
and not the '[Google Mail]/Drafts' version, e.g.

It is not that I think John is talking BS. If there is a transition of
some sort, we may want to keep the more prevalent one in the main example,
while suggesting minority one as a ballback altenative.
