        I'm not adverse to this change, providing the MESSAGE documents
        it. For reference, do sendmail and postfix install from pkgsrc
        setup like this?

 Just because it is safer behaviour and it is not needed for most cases.
 ALL users require local delivery and A FEW configures MTA
 in a specific way.
 Another explanation is that it is easier for experienced users
 to enable required features than to disable unrequired one by newbies
 or new users.
 BTW, such sorts of changes may be mentioned in MESSAGE
 I my patch changes this file.
