I also use the varios patches from University of Athens since about
2005. As far as I can say they are pretty stable :-)

Please have also a look at the other patches at
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/

Especially the autosievefolder-patch is quite useful.
the two quota-patches are address some problems I didn't encounter in
real life, but they seem to be reasonable.

the autoreply-patch is trivial :-)

all these patches apply clean after 0090-upstream...dpatch
but some of the debian-patches have to be adjusted.
