If you want searching, then write an extension to this extension that does use LISTEXT.But it is possible to search for everything else in IMAP (headers, text in body parts, flags, etc.), so lack of search would be awkward.
That maybe true at a message level, but its not true at a mailbox level. i.e. without LISTEXT there is no way to search for mailboxes containing unseen messages. Even with LISTEXT there is no way to search for mailboxes on which I have the 'w' ACL right. So I don't agree that lack of search in this case is a hinderance. If it is, then we extend METADATA with LISTEXT, but that won't be present in the "base" METADATA spec.
