Stupid question, but what *is* CONDSTORE? :)

Is anyone actively using the CONDSTORE extension supported in Cyrus 2.3.x?
I'm only aware of one client that supports it, so I'm thinking the user
base is quite small.
The reason I ask is that I want to push out a 2.3.7 release ASAP which
contains a number of important bugfixes, but I've realized that the
replication protocol doesn't have any support for the metadata that is
used by CONDSTORE. I started fixing this but I'm wondering if these
changes should be post 2.3.7.
Would anyone freak out if 2.3.7 doesn't properly support CONDSTORE and
replication?
I don't know for sure if I am using it, because I don't know what all of my
clients are, but I bet it's pretty doubtful.
I'd be shocked if anyone other than Dave Cridland (the author of the Polymer
client) is using CONDSTORE support in Cyrus 2.3. Not only do you have to
have a CONDSTORE-capable client, you would have to have enabled CONDSTORE
support on one or more mailboxes by setting the correct mailbox annotation.
Since very few, if any, clients support mailbox annotations (ANNOTATEMORE
extension), the user would have to very good knowledge of the IMAP protocol
or access to cyradm to enable CONDSTORE.
So, a 2.3.7 release without the CONDSTORE replication fixes would essentially
create a replica with CONDSTORE disabled on every mailbox, which is probably
going to be an accurate image of the master in virtually every installation
in the wild.
