Reading this issue may be cataloged as RTFM and people who install the system by default and leave it as-is, they never rtfm. RTFM lovers already know how to bind sendmail on external interfaces and how to install/select sendmail as default MTA, if they want to. I'd rather opt for a very restrictive postfix aiming to protect newbies and to secure deployments by default than for a somehow constrained sendmail just to please the statistics.
