I also tend to think it would be an extras thing, in part because I
don't see what would be moved out, and in part because there are MTA
components with a lot more proven maturity.

But it's worth mentioning that courier really shines, in my experience
when installed as one suite. You get an MTA + POP + IMAP + Webmail +
Webadmin without needing to configure them to work together. It just
works out of the box. And out of the box, they are all SSL-aware, as
well (which wasn't the case a few years back when I started using it for
my home network).

So whether in core, or more likely in extras, I'd like to plug the
entire courier suite instead of just the IMAP/POP3 components. It could
be very well suited to the home or small office where the person in the
sysadmin role might not have a great deal of experience setting up a
complete mail system to work together.
