Don't make 99% of all the users pay for something only you use. Sendmail does really not belong on netbooks and for those who really want to have it there: you can still start it manually. No netbook vendor should ship sendmail enabled by default.

No server vendor should enable Sendmail as daemon by default either. Accepting mail on port 25 is uncommon. Sending out mail isn't, but it is done on demand with Sendmail from the command line. What cannot be sent can be pushed out with a cron job that does a sendmail -q every now and then.
