that would prevent adoption; just like FreeBSD keeps Sendmail instead of adopting Postfix in its base system.
There are other reasons for this. And the way the mail system is
setup makes it is very simple to replace the default MTA with an
other MTA in the ports collection.

Certainly, it was just an example.

My point is only that old, slowly evolving, well-known, and tested programs (legitimately) build up a certain amount of trust and inertia. Thus making it difficult to replace them because the new program has to be so much better to justify the replacement.
