(Just to mention this: we are neither the pioneer on the
no-default-syslog feature nor on no-default-sendmail... A lot of other
distros stopped installing an MTA by default a long time ago --
including Ubuntu since 2007 or so -- and some others have switched to
only-journal mode already too -- for example ArchLinux

So, we are just following on these ones, on the sendmail thing even with
a 6 year lag...)
