Actually I'm afraid your cloud environment example is just as far out
of context.  I can't imagine many cloud deployments that don't use
kickstarts and have their own individually chosen packageset tuned for
exactly their business case.  They can use core / minimal +  whatever
specific individual packages they need.  I hardly think a cloud
environment is going to base their production on the Default package
set.

Default should include what people 'generally expect of a GNU+Linux
system' -- and that includes an MTA.  It should include a syslog, and
it should include screen too for that matter.

I mentioned DHCP only to demonstrate the fact that you were dismissing
the existence of real environments in which smtp-server is served via
DHCP, _today_.

We should be working towards deterministic, automatic, easy configuration.

I couldn't have said it better.  Most people get it.  If you don't
like ${President}, vote for a better one.  Don't bulldoze the
whitehouse.
