By default the local mta delivers everything to root because there's no way to know what user is going to exisit. How many people check the local root users mail. So for desktop it should be a notification to the screen, for a server it would need to be configured anyway for smart relay hosts and real users to send it to. So its currently broken as it standard. This change is not going to make that any better or worse.
