[Fedora-spins] Hello and a question about services included in spins

[Corentin Perard]

  First of all hello dear fedora contributors. I'm new on this list, so 
please be indulgent if I don't follow all the rules yet. And excuse my 
(sometimes) poor english, that's because I'm French.

My question was for the spin maintainers : There is a feature (nearing 
completion) that was created in order to remove the default MTA from the 
default install. As of today I downloaded the Fedora 14 beta KDE x86_64 
live spin (by the way, great job and thank you, the KDE integration is 
better than ever, still a few quirks, but everyone on the bugzilla is 
reactive when kindly asked) and have seen sendmail still installed and 
sendmail service enabled by default. But the feature allows for 
uninstallation, without compromising the rest of the system. Try a 'yum 
remove sendmail' : it *IS* definitely possible to remove it without 
having redhat-lsb, cron and a bunch of things removed.

So (here it comes) why not remove sendmail from the default spins I 
think the spins are desktop-oriented and desktop users don't need MTA, 
right ? It could help save 1.5M according to yum, and allow faster boot 
of the live spin.

That was just a suggestion, what is your opinion ?

regards,

Corentin
