Current experience with VM images seems to indicate that server people ideally have a system that comes with very little more than coreutils, and build a kickstart for anything more complicated than that. If you want to provide an "I don't care pick one" template for mailserver images, awesome. But in general, if you _intend_ to send mail, you're opinionated enough to pick your own, at which point all that providing a default does is make the post-install transaction slower. Put another way: I don't think you really think that. - ajax
