I'm not an developer nor an commiter. ;)

But fully agreed, i also don't understand this discussion.
In Case Sendmail works, it's in the base System and does a proper Job
and is integrated in the base system.

It will take time and manpower to replace Sendmail. From my perspective
its a useless additional construction site.

Only to mention, The Free and OpenBSD Guys also rely on Sendmail as  MTA
in their base systems.


If somebody is in desperate need of Postfix... have a look at Ishan
Dogan's third party packages. http://ihsan.dogan.ch/postfix/

just my 2 cents
