Actually, the crux of this argument was whether AV software should be in
Fedora Core.

Additionally I think scanning all mail for something which only affects
some of the systems is:
1. enabling users to use unsafe programs
2. encouraging continued questionable practices
3. increasing the workload by duplicating effort.
   - spend more time making your client control efforts work and less
time upgrading the virus definitions on your mail server
