I do not see how changing the default MTA for future Debian installs will cause churn for people. If people are happy with continuing on with their currently installed Exim4 packages, they will continue to be happy with that, and should not be forced to change MTAs. Debian deciding to change MTAs affects new installs, and it signals a choice that this is the MTA that we would like to support as our default. I'm not sure why other distributions have decided to choose Postfix as their default, but if I were to take a guess I would think that it is because it is easier for new users to setup. But perhaps that is a subjective assessment based on my own experiences. micah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
