I have to admit that the recent dovecot update caught me out too for a few minutes, until I realised that I'd had no new email for an eerie amount of time.

This is not nice no question but how will you solve changes in the config file which be not backward compatible? In such a case it would be better to stop instead of restart the daemon. I think nothing would be better than to look what for updates be there and to stop a daemon manual or in the case of KDE step to runlevel 3 before the update. But this be nothing more than my 2c.
