First, rc.conf and periodic.conf are totally separate, so having just one

actually disable all of sendmail, but since people could not send mail
locally that turned out to be a POLA violation itself, so the current
two-stage system was developed. It's impossible to make everyone happy here,
so I think the current system is a reasonable compromise.
No, you can still have *one* overriding knob to turn off
everything. If folks want to enable/disable different
parts of sendmail, they can do that with the other knobs.
POLA says the one overriding sendmail knob should be
sendmail_enable.
Well, I certainly understand your perspective, although I'm not sure I
agree. Feel free to create a patch that does what you want it to do, and
send it to freebsd-rc@ and gshapiro@ for review, and we'll see what others
have to say about it.
