The server people and large installation maintainers really like these mails AFAIK, for desktop/laptop you administer yourself I never quite understood how to actually read them execept for less /var/spool/mail/root OK what's in there after a few months daily use on this self-managed desktop: * logwatch disk space messages, and the diskspace is low, well wouldn't it be better to have this as a desktop popup like "you have mail" actually, mailing it to root sort of implies that you have someone else managing you disks/system. * SELinux audit trail, reflecting normal usage and expected mistakes and yum updates (like I didn't know, only root can do them!) Useful information for the use cases where end-user and administrator is seldom/never the same person. The admin will forward these mails to their main inbox or whatever and grep it for stuff they need to know I believe, and collect stats? Then they could presumably also turn on this when they install the system and Fedora could leave it off in the default install, no?
