None of this is in conflict with the proposal to not install sendmail
everywhere.

We've never had any luck defining what a Fedora server looks like. That's
why I think it's better to have servers start from minimal and you can build
up in kickstart. There, you _probably_ want Postfix or Exim instead of
Sendmail, and it's easier if we haven't preselected something.
