According to rc.sendmail(8), setting sendmail_enable to NONE is
deprecated: you're supposed to disable each part of sendmail
separately, as outlined in [1].

Note that sshd is started right before sendmail:

  Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
  Starting sshd.
  Starting sendmail_submit.

so the delay in starting sendmail is not affecting your ability
to use the machine - unless you need to log in on the serial console,
which you really shouldn't for regular operation anyway.

All in all, I think we can leave things as they are.
