Why would I install the desktop spin if I need those?  Fedora has been taking
the lets-start-any-services-that-someone-may-need approach so far.  It doesn't
work.  Spins are a neat way to customize the default install for different
sectors.  The desktop spin should not install an MTA in my opinion.  That's
all I'm saying.
