Less functionality is perfectly fine unless there is a strong case that more of those features is actually being used by a majority in order to satisfy the nominal requirements of being a default package. > (Honestly, if we're going to move an MTA from base to core, I'd suggest > we should just do s/sendmail/postfix/, and let those who need less > change it.) My point is simply that most users in Fedora users are bound to use it on a desktop and wouldn't need a MTA and we should let people just install their mta of choice, be it exim, postfix or sendmail if they really need one. On the other hand, even if do a more full featured mta, I agree it is really high time we moved away from sendmail. SUSE, Ubuntu and Mandriva? is using postfix and Debian is using exim.
