Cool!

*checks*
Hmm, I'm running Cyrus *cough*1.5.19*cough*.
I can see Debian has cyrus21 packages - but not in Woody, and I've managed to 
keep this server largely Testing/Unstable free. Maybe it's time to take the 
plunge?

Are there many config changes or other large considerations migrating to 1.5.x 
to 2.1? ie; how much time impact will it hit me with (given that I've made 
minimal changes to this server over the years) if I just upgraded the 
packages to 2.1?
