Even Fedora has 3.8.1 for some reason?
Correction, Fedora does have 3.8.3, I just looked at the wrong repository. That does make Fedora the only distribution shipping 3.8.3 if I got it right.

Then don't choose LTS systems. They will do exactly that and most of the time bugfixes won't be backported.
Seems like it. I am usually combining a LTS system with current upstream packages for these kind of single purpose systems, which minimizes maintenance efforts for the "non-payload" parts of a machine. I guess in this case I either go with Fedora and deal with the bi-yearly release upgrades or start with Ubuntu LTS and upgrade to a non-LTS version if I need the 3.10 features earlier (looking at IMAP NOTIFY in particular). That at least would give me the option to switch back to the LTS track in two years.
Thanks for the hints so far, and I hope this mail gets filed into the right thread (I'm trying out the topicbox webinterface).
