I'm pretty sure they will, just as soon as someone provides
patches to make installed base system components like sendmail
into "preinstalled packages", and then steps up and makes some
other MTA and MSA able to be installed by default instead, so
that things like "/etc/daily", "/etc/weekly", and so on can
still send an email to the local "root" user upon completion.

PS: This comes up every time a sendmail CERT advisory happens,
    but then no one provides the necessary patches to make email
    continue to work with sendmail deinstalled, or the package
    files to allow it to be deinstalled and replaces easily.
