> The real problem is that the idea that a *nix system can send e-mail, send log messages to another server, and other things like that is considered "obsolete" and functionality that needs to be removed.
The problem is that it doesn't usually work that well anymore.
If you have some nice traditional server setup with a bunch of nodes all on the same network segment then it'll work, otherwise it's all just random chance if it works or not unless you actually configure things manually.
And if, like most people I am guessing, are going to configure a MTA it's going to probably be Postfix and not Sendmail.

If they were proposing to change the default from Sendmail to Postfix, I don't think there would be any fuss. Several other Distros have done the same thing.
this isn't about keeping Sendmail, it's about keeping an MTA.
