heh... well, they would soon enough...

Seriously though... why call it a 'local delivery agent', when its
really more than that? Local suggests local/system users, and dovecot
delivery agent works fine for both local and virtual users. Postfix
calls its local delivery agent 'local', and its virtual delivery agent
'virtual'

:)

So, fwiw (about 2 cents, in current dollars), I'd just vote for:

dovecot-deliver binary, protocol-deliver {}...
