We've never had any luck defining what a Fedora server looks like. That's
why I think it's better to have servers start from minimal and you can
build
up in kickstart. There, you _probably_ want Postfix or Exim instead of
Sendmail, and it's easier if we haven't preselected something.
Look, the proposal is not calling to replace sendmail, it's calling to
remove any MTA. So "sendmail is a bad MTA" is not a good argument for this
proposal. "sendmail is a bad MTA" is an argument to install Postfix or
Exim by default, not to remove the default MTA. And it's way easier to
replace the MTA in a distro built around an MTA that to add an MTA on a
distro where people stopped caring about MTA compatibility since it became
an optional component
Though anyway, +1 to use postfix by default like Suse
