I'm sorry but I do not see the reasoning behind the assumption:
non-technical implies "we need to protect them from good practice".
What does removing an MTA (IOW system mail) serve?  If the argument is
saving resources, then one could counter argue a non-technical user is
less likely to care about "saving system resources".

More to the point, I find it counter productive to _remove_ important
debugging resources/tools irrespective of the technical proficiency of
the user of the system.  I outlined my issue in this post:

Anyone care to comment on this?
