Yeah people how know about them know how to enable them (its not
rocket science btw) but most users don't need them and don't even know
that they exits ...
so why make the boot process slower for most users?

And why do people always shout "oh no you changed something that has
been that way for years that must be wrong even if its better for most
users"  ? ...  nobody wants to remove MTA's from fedora they just want
to not install/enable it by default.

We really need to make the boot process faster .. talking about how
important a MTA isn't the best way to accomplish this goal .. it will
ends up like every fedora release.
Talk and no changes due to flamewar = no or minimal boot time improvement.
