Yes, instead of of discussing different levels of users, or different 
levels of computer systems, I tried to point on the route problem, not 
getting astray on tangents out of tangents, to steer the discussion onto 
a more constructive path.

The route problem is what I wrote. That we have applications that 
actually rely on mail, and that these do need an MTA to communicate with 
the user.

If this is a packaging problem, it should be addressed, and it would 
have been good if this had been taken care of before removing the MTA.
