We only set quotas on individual mailboxes so that wouldn't be a problem. We also don't have sieve scripts except per-mailbox, so ditto there.

 
Sounds like you'll be fine.
 
I'm not quite clear though about the global sharing thing. Does this mean, for example, that if one user wants to share a mailbox with another user, its name has to be unique on the entire system? We would have users who would want to only share with other users in their domain.
 

No, the per-user namespace is still fine - users can still share with other users in their own domain - just currently it is technically impossible to share with users in other domains right now - because the mailbox naming is not RFC compliant, so it's not compatible with real IMAP client, only with Cyrus management tools.
 
Since we support a single-realm Kerberos setup we only use usernames not email address login. Does that make any difference here since there appears to be an issue with the domain part?
 

There's nothing wrong with running without domains still - there would still be support for virtdomains: off, or else for a single defaultdomain: "example.com" which would be appended/stripped as appropriate.
 

 
Great. I forgot to ask about unixheirarchysep. Does that mean that the default netnews "." way of doing things is going away? If so, will there be an easy way to convert? 
 
Yeah, I'm afraid so.
 
It's going to kind of suck for FastMail customers as much as anyone actually - since that's what we use!  But here's the thing:
 
a) it will be possible to switch to the netnews way if you want
b) but if you have virtdomains AND netnews separator, then that will mean that you need to switch.  Hopefully most clients will cope - I haven't tested it.
 
If you DON'T have virtdomains, or the users are all in the default domain, then it will keep working just the same.  I guess we could have a config option "strip domain if same" or something, and get the same display as what we have now despite the different representation internally.  The only thing is, you _could_ share with users in other domains if you wanted.
