Definitely not. On our desktop installs we clearly have an interactive
user which is defined during install/firstboot/etc.

This audience is rarely expected to use the command line shell,
and even less so looking at logs (with all journal advantage, running
journalctl or tail -f /var/log/messages have the same problem -- the user).

On the other hand, aliasing root to the installing user in /etc/aliases
is trivial and adding the local spool mailbox as a default to MUA's
would make these mails *visible by default* to that user.

Please note that both steps mentioned are an improvement in
default user-experience of Fedora, even if later it's decided that
installation of MTA *isn't a default*.
(less people some system outputs are "lost" [tongue in the cheek])

Bye,
