Fedora might be a better bet to get it used at first; the new RHLP
direction (as I understand it) is to rely more on third-party
repositories for additional software as much as possible. Take a look at
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy and see if that
works well for you. Personally, I prefer postfix, but I absolutely agree
that it's good for everyone to be able to easily choose their favorite.
