One thing that no one seems to have mentioned yet though, is that sendmail
HAS been shipped with RedHat for as long as I can recall (since RH5). Which
also means (as far as RedHAt is concerned), lot's of people are running
sendmail.

	How would you feel if you performed an RH 8.0 upgrade and suddenly your
3000+ users couldn't send/receive email, and your only option was to
configure the 'new' RH email system.

	People have moaned about lots of 'little' things been broken after
upgrading previous versions of RH (i.e.. new ways for scripts, etc.) how
many emails would the list generate if people's email suddenly stopped
working. (Yes I realise people shouldn't upgrade 'live' machines without
testing, but it does happen, it might even have slipped through the net)

Just my 2p worth
