Yes, and nobody wants to do the work, so we are in the same place

That's hardly fair. When the user doesn't express any preference for an
MTA, either explicitly, or through the use of the "base" group in comps,
then yes, yum resorts to the best providers algorithm to satisfy the
generic mta requirement. With no other hints, all things wind up being
equal amongst our MTA providers and yum does finally have to resort to
shortest name.
and just so we're clear: Shortest-name is not a yum-ism - it comes from
anaconda, from looooooooooooong ago in a galaxy far away. I duplicated it
in yum for consistency.
