And at least one BSD did so too -- Dragonfly BSD wrote their own local MTA, dma (also ported to many linux distros). OpenBSD too plans to replace sendmail with their own program (opensmtpd). Given sendmail's close links to BSD, it is amusing that Fedora is more conservative than some BSDs in this respect...
