hmm I don't think so. may be way too many use "default". if it's true
it's high time to make something about it, since it's mean rh can ship
just one mta, one webserver, one <any>server (which are listening on
the same port). one java vm (currently there is no choise in this field
either kaffe is the worst choise) since it's called java. etc.

always. I report it with qmail and postfix too on this list, but I can't
find it. it seems new mail archive is searchable just after "mailman time".
again it's not about some specific programs. it's about general policy of
"support" of non-supported or semi-supported programs. where support means
try to make easier advanced users life (not just for user joe).
