While I mildly welcome the replacement of sendmail with dma in base, what I really want to thank Baptiste and everyone involved for is the proper organization of this change: first a clear transition path (sendmail->dma), then a build knob to test the switch, then an advance announcement with a period for discussion, then a deprecation in the next major release, and then a complete removal after one major release. This is how it should be done. Thanks, Baptiste. It seems that too often we take this procedure for granted.
