My previous objection was based on the precedent it sets. I don't want a "Desktop" distribution in Fedora. I want a server-usable distribution. Sure, it's just a dep and one can go install an MTA. But today it's killing the MTA, tomorrow it's removing something else that's useful on the server side of things. I want to see that trend stop and reverse.
