+1. Since I switched my Asus to Cambridge, boot time has become a topic 
near to my heart. But I still (AFAIK) have sendmail installed, because - 
even though, forced to think about it, I probably don't need it - I 
don't feel comfortable without a functional mail subsystem. (Maybe if I 
removed cron also...)

I'm in favor of deferred-startup, however. As one of the individuals 
opposed to breaking mail, I'd like to hope that's worth something :-). 
After all, compromise is about finding a position that everyone finds at 
least acceptable, if not satisfying. It would be nice if we could work 
toward that instead of this "my way or no progress" attitude that seems 
to be prevalent.
