I think that rather than replacing sendmail with a program that does less, we can just modularize sendmail so that it's not directly attached to the build. This way, the immediate goal of allowing people to drop in a sendmail replacement is there, without removing any of the existing functionality. Corecore's very good at what he does, so I do think his replacement program can be made to cover what the majority of people need from sendmail (which isn't much), and anyone with greater needs could still install sendmail. However, it seems there's an easier method just by using the existing packaging system.
