And additionaly, if one wants to switch mailbox formats whilst 
migration. Dsync is great in that scenario.

I did so, migrating from a dovecot 1.2.x to 2.x server in the past. Not 
many users, not many mail involved. Technically I did what has been 
proposed already: Running an initial dsync run, running periodic 
differential sync until final switch. During switch I had had to shut 
down dovecot for a short time.

In the meantime I use something like to block users during maintainance:

passdb {
