Precisely. So let's make sure that whatever is put on the media, is

not too fond of the: "package XXX is the default choice for function
YYY, because it won the *sort* contest". If we are going to include an
MTA on the media at all - and install should of course be possible
without network connectivity - we should be in charge of which mailer
goes there. It should not be left to chance.
I really really don't want to make that decision, because no matter _what_
decision I make, people with pitchforks are going to come after me. So I'm
perfectly happy to make _no_ decision and let the tool sort it out.
I can only imagine the reactions if/when somebody submits some niche MTA
into the repository mid-release that happens to get selected over exim.
That by itself /is/ a decision...
If the selection was truly random, it would be a slightly different thing
("see, we're carrying out a field-test to see which MTA is the best by
installing random MTA" :) but as it stands... yum-randomizer plugin,
anyone ;)
