Nah. He would be able to read docs then.

Actually, the migration from smail to exim (1.x back then) was well
before I joined Debian as a developer. What I have heard from the
historians, was that exim is configured quite similiar to smail and
was thus the logical choice.

If Debian had to take this decision again now, I strongly suspect that
the new default MTA would be postfix.
