Also, from the commit:

QUOTE
-sendmail_enable=3D"NONE" # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO).
+sendmail_enable=3D"NONE" # Run the sendmail inbound daemon =
(YES/NO/NONE).
END QUOTE

My guess is Matteo was after something more like the
following text from your commit notes:

QUOTE
setting sendmail_enable to NONE (which is now the default)
turns all the sendmail_*_enable variables to NO
END QUOTE

In other words, documenting what is different about NONE vs. NO
beyond the spelling distinction.
