 Why ? This way the user has the ability to chose which one to use.
 Although which MTA to ship, and which one to use by default is
 controversial, I don't see any fundamental problems with having several
 MTAs shipped with the system.

 How is the default sendmail idiotic, wrong or insecure ? The default
 configuration allows local mails to be delivered (output of cron jobs,
 virecover, etc ...) and to send remote mails to remote MTAs in the
 majority of installations (for the benefit of send-pr). It doens't
 listen on any public IP, only localhost. I don't see any problems here.
