I hope this is fixed in future Fedora.. This is just silly, though definitely
in line with many of the other changes that have been made to Fedora recently.
Linux development today is mostly funded by big businesses and governments.
Large enterprises have tight controls over email for security, legal, and business
continuity reasons. Those controls could break down if MTA's are installed by
default without explicit action by administrators. One consequence is a move
away from using email for status reports (cron, logwatch) towards job management
tools that provide resource management and scheduling as well as logging and
status reporting.
Maybe Fedora will need small business and hobbyist spins.
