logwatch Mail Not Delivered

I noticed that logwatch mail stopped on my F15 system recently.  The
problem was that some update turned off sendmail.  The mail was being
generated, but could not be delivered because nothing was listening on
the mail port at localhost.

The fix is:

    sudo systemctl start sendmail.service
    sudo systemctl enable sendmail.service

I'm wondering why this service was turned off?
