You never know, he could just be sarcastic against the original wail
that postfix and mailx was 'missing'.

In the same vein, I would vote for WindowMaker (and all its applets),
IceWM and Enlightenment DR17 to be on the install CD, and we can not
forget Exim and Sendmail, we must have plenty of choice! Both emacs
and xemacs with all elisp extensions absolutely *must* be included as
well, and we can not leave out a 2.4 kernel, source etc, for all
architectures. It is all about choice!

And for those that didn't get it, I am extracting the urine - with a
liberal dose of sarcasm...
