You talked about home servers and I pointed out that this change was done only on the desktop live image. Instead of acknowledging that, you are talking about how some people need an MTA which I don't think anyone has denied. If some package that requires an MTA doesn't depend on it, that is a packaging bug.
Yes, instead of of discussing different levels of users, or different levels of computer systems, I tried to point on the route problem, not getting astray on tangents out of tangents, to steer the discussion onto a more constructive path.
The route problem is what I wrote. That we have applications that actually rely on mail, and that these do need an MTA to communicate with the user.
If this is a packaging problem, it should be addressed, and it would have been good if this had been taken care of before removing the MTA.
