Does this removal include or exclude IMAP backends?

I'm using this dedicated address because personal addresses aren't 
masked enough at this mail public archive. Public archive administrator 
should fix this against automated addresses collectors.

No. The only thing removed is the director component. Proxying works, IMAP
backends are not removed. Director is responsible for mapping users to
particular hosts.

This change will affect mostly people with more than 1-2 backends, with 2
backends you can still have primary/backup setup. Dovecot will still happily
proxy connections to your backends.
