When I was developing LIST-EXTENDED for Cyrus IMAP as documented in 
https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2875 I originally kept 
LIST-EXT capabilities in place.

It was decided by the Cyrus Maintainer Ken Murchison to drop LIST-EXT support!

"1.  I'm only aware of one client which supports LISTEXT and this client also
supports LIST-EXTENDED.  Given this, and the fact that LISTEXT was a 
non-default
compile-time option, I don't see the need to keep LISTEXT around (at least not
as a separate code path)."
