I thought NetBSD-current was about to be syspkg'd anyways?  Then the 
problem won't show up -- don't like sendmail, or the notoriously ancient 
postfix version that NetBSD ships with?  Just give it the boot and 
install something else.  If that isn't feasible somehow for the near 
future, I'd rather have no mailer daemon installed by default at all 
than sendmail, or some old postfix, where I have to jump thru loops to 
properly replace it with a newer version. Packages solve all and 
everything here.  I'd prefer a really small base system, with everything 
else in packages.  Not a distribution that looks like it was made for a 
central minicomputer university installation and intended to be 
installed from reel tapes (and includes all and everything on that tape 
because of the absence of a packaging mechanism.)
