I managed to find the sendmail-cf package or whatever it's called
without much issue.  I find it laughable that the simple config for
sendmail is done using m4 macros.  What the hell is wrong with simple
key/value pairs?  So when I say it is obtuse I am not referring to
complete gibberish in the real config file, I'm talking about the
sendmail.mc method.

Anyway, I ditched sendmail long ago and I don't follow its development
at all.  It's among the first thing gone from any installs I do.

It's not being singled out.  Network service are disabled by default
to the greatest extent possible.  AFAIK, only sshd is enabled by
default, I could be wrong though.  I don't know why you feel that
sendmail is getting some sort of mistreatment here.
