That might be worth consideration, especially if it can be done in such
a way that people who've adapted to the new world order won't have to
revert any changes.  But then what have we scored?  We still have to
support sendmail_enable="NONE".

Don't beat yourself up over this.  How many -STABLE users are really
getting totally screwed by it?  It's a wart, and look what we got in
return -- a more secure out-of-the-box MTA. :-)
