I did the renaming when cyrus-imapd was initially updated to version 3
in Fedora, precisely because the command name is conflicting.  RHEL
inherited that packaging.

Historically cyrus-imapd contains a number of conflicting names for
various things, which seems to have been tolerated because the
executables are often not installed into the usual paths for
executables.  Things like quota, restore and fetchnews.  A number of
manpages have to additionally be renamed into an "8cyrus" section
(because otherwise you get conflicts on, say, httpd.8 even though the
httpd executable itself isn't installed into a usual executable path).

In any case, cyr_quota and other renaming were used only after
consultation with the Cyrus developers.  My understanding was that they
intended to eventually make that renaming official upstream, but because
I'm no longer really involved in Cyrus packaging I do not yet know if
that has happened.
