The only functionality you lose with flock is the ability to remotely mount your mail spool via NFS; but you shouldn't be doing this anyway.
This is pretty important functionality - certainly not something an MTA author wants to give up for all his or her users. Note that you don't really have to be able to deliver into NFS, just be able to read mail over NFS - but even giving that up would limit an MTA author's audience. -- Dan Stromberg UCI/NACS/DCS
