Actually, it's still an option for you.

I used to use UUCP, but I had my own MX record.  So now my ISP sends my MX'd 
mail to a drop box which fetchmail picks up and then distributes to my 
private domain.

I personally prefer UUCP, but if you ever get stuck in a situation where you 
can't use it, you do still have options.

They should not remove UUCP from any UNIX distribitution as far as I'm 
concerned.  It's probably one of the more efficient ways of doing things,
and can even be made very secure.
