Yes, this is planned for FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.  One big chunk of
functionality made possible by this change is the ability to selectively
install (or not) different bits of the base system -- so you could
install FreeBSD /without/ sendmail using the standard binary packages,
and maintain it entirely by binary pkg updates.  At the moment, if you
want a system 'WITHOUT_SENDMAIL' then you have to compile it yourself.

	Cheers,
