Adding it shouldn't be too much work, but from the distribution side we
don't want to force all our users to run a "sending only" mail server
(or more) unless they actually want to. I might instead add a check in
the script where, if sending mail doesn't look possible, it simply
doesn't try to send it. That way people don't have to worry about
surprise software installation on their next update. I know I'd freak
out if suddenly my system is running sendmail/postfix when it wasn't
before.
It does not seem that mailx requires sendmail/postfix (says "rpm -qR
mailx"). So adding the dependency should be safe.
Has this info I gave been considerd?
Has anything been decided on this issue, yet?

Sorry about that, I thought I'd replied to this...... seems my memory is
a bit off.
We've added mailx as a dependency since it doesn't pull in anything
extra (in terms of mail system packages). It should be in fastbugs
later this week.
