Considering Sendmail 8.12.0 is radically different (new & improved), especially in the area of security, I would expect it to be tested in -CURRENT for quite some time before it's MFCed into -STABLE. Admins will need to prepare for the paradigm shift. I, for example, need to work out the details for implementing it with smtpd. Others may have to work out similar issues. Considering 8.12.0 no longer requires root privileges people need to consider how they will implement forwarding to programs such as procmail and slocal. In short I'd be surprised if it made it into -STABLE that soon.
