The entire reason that a MTA is dragged into the core group is for
things like cron. In the base group, at (and up until recently, logwatch.)

If you replace that with ssmtp, *out of the box all that mail is
dropped on the floor*. I don't think that's a reasonable position
to take by default.

(There are solutions here, of course - asking for an e-mail address for
each user, and asking which user is the admin. But we don't do that
now.)
