I don't - I think we just have differing expectations of the userbase
for NetBSD.

See Kevin P. Neal's post at Message-ID: <20021020164944.GA23861@neutralgood.org> 
for my same argument, from another mouth.

day-to-day operations are not taking what you have said previously
into account, IMHO. If you are working on your system for it to be a
serious server, you are going to replace sendmail anyway!
