A workstation by definition is not a server. Workstations don't
in general need to run services like SMTP. Any workstation
running SMTP is not really what I would call a workstation. If
one wants something other than a workstatioin, that is what a
custom install is for.
Are there people out there using workstations that want to run
SMTP or need to? Yes. That doesn't mean it is the most common
setup. When generalizing things like "Server install" or
"Workstation install" it is IMPOSSIBLE to please everyone. Those
preset installs are generalized to fit the most common case.
Anyone not finding the common case adequate is a special case,
and should use custom, and use kickstart to create a customized
install that is repeatable. kickstart can even enable sendmail
for you if you like.
