Changing defaults only makes sense if we're going to get rid of the 
current default or we're going to put a lot of work into the 
alternative.  Sendmail isn't about to disappear, and we don't do a lot 
of distro-specific work on MTAs, so there's little point to changing. 
If you prefer a different MTA, use it.
