Red Hat products are customer driven.  There are many reasons package
can and are deprecated for the next release.  Customer demand can and
does quickly and easily change that, so make your voice heard most effectively,
directly to Red Hat product management.  The earlier in a Beta, the better.

Please file Premium Support (CRM), TAM (IT) and other tickets, and
have them add Eugene Tay's new BZ#609653 to the ticket:  
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609653  


Also make your Red Hat sales, solution architect and other representatives
aware of your needs.  Use that 1-2 combo.  Only customer requests can
help Red Hat gage actual customer numbers on this.  Decisions have to
be made on what comes in from Fedora and what is not commonly deployed.
There are always considerations beyond what statistics Fedora Smolt and
RHN can report, especially when something like a MTA option is not a default,
and those considerations need to be heard for adequate evaluation.

P.S.  I'm a huge Exim fanboy myself.  But a list high-five does nothing.  ;)
