Live CD's for example don't need a mail server. You can't expect desktop users to go and read root mail anyway. Unless there is something better, mail server just add to the startup time. A completely waste. Net installs don't necessarily need a mail server at all. Fedora users installing it on a server (they do exist), especially as a a mail server are going to be way less than desktop users. We are just following a legacy here. It doesn't provide any real benefit at all to the large majority of users. Since some of the packages expect a mta, shove in ssmtp and be done with it.
