I'd also say go ahead and merge them. Besides the repeated 'initial
sync's (which however should be fixed now), I haven't seen any problems
regarding unexist tracking anymore. I am however using Dovecot, which is
a pretty sane IMAP implementation compared to say, GMail or Zimbra, so
people using those might have other experiences. Still, the next Emacs
release is still quite far away, so there's ample time for fixing
things.
