That's not an option IMHO - dovecot 1.2 is too new (released 2009-07-01) 
to force users to upgrade. The upcoming openSUSE 11.2 will come with 
1.1.7 [1], and the usual rumors say it will take years to get 1.2 in 
debian stable ;-)

Another important point is that postfixadmin aims to always be backward-
compatible. Removing support for dovecot 1.1 would break postfixadmin 
for several users [1]...

[1] I don't have any numbers about how many users use this features -
    but given that 2.3rc7 has 6500 downloads, I'm sure that there are
    people who use the quota feature...
