"edge use case"? I have to strongly disagree. We have mail from 
different daemons etc that ends up in mail to root. The normal non 
technical user does not see this mail, and may even by totally unaware 
of it. This mail should be sent to the non technical user in an easy way.

One easy way to make the non technical user aware of this, and to set up 
the system so that he/she receives this mail, is my proposal.

The technical user already knows all this and makes the changes needed 
manually after installing Fedora. So this proposal is, again, to make 
the system easier to use for a normal non technical user.

Sorry. I do not follow you here. I am not sure what you mean.
