This particular problem doesn't concern me since my work does not depend 
on sendmail. But I think that a logical error is being made here. For 
repeat users, I don't see a real difference between updates and clean 
installs. I, for one, am very willing to install a new release since it 
will clean out accumulated junk. The only thing that I will keep from 
the old release is /home. I don't think that I would find it acceptable 
that previously assumed features just stopped working. Breaking cron or 
side effects of cron is unacceptable.
