Maybe. Postfix doesn't use this directory. Nor does exim. On the other hand,
spamassassin puts its files there, so there's some non-sendmail-specific
precedent. I understand the desire to not clutter up /etc further.

I don't think this is good, because almost everything else in /etc/sysconfig
is either actually sourced into a shell script or sets variables in a format
that looks like that ("FOO=bar").

Yes, there should. :)
