I was under the assumption that it would've been after the branch had been
merged :) IMAP would be nice to have too! ;-)

I do have one question regarding package management, however...

In the current nightlies, a large majority of the system is in a single
"haiku" package. Yet, all this time, people have been talking about how
package management will allow us to upgrade individual parts of the system
at a time. Shouldn't we then have separate packages for each app/component
to achieve this?
