Great to hear progress is being made, Patrick and Ralf :)

I might hazard a guess that 2.0.x will be the last major release for a
while. You could have a stop-press annex for snapshots up to publication
date, but most production systems will probably stick with 2.0 for some
time to come... think who your target market is with this book (admins
with lots of clue, or just mail admins in general who need a good primer
book)

Maybe Wietse has a roadmap in his brain somewhere that might help work
out if a major revision is likely soon (I doubt it, he already did a lot
of good work to get Postfix 2.0 out).
