You're right, those are silly reasons. But I, for one, I see two
major
reasons to make this switch, from sendmail to postfix as the MTA of
choice:
1. SANS Top Vulnerabilities, U5. Mail Transport Service

2. The very first thing done by the almost all the people I know after a
RH/Fedora install, is rpm -e sendmail
I really wonder how many subscribers are still using Sendmail.
It does not matter how many subscribers on this list are still using Sendmail.
I too am one of the people who does -sendmail +postfix in my kickstart configs
but remember Red Hat has to support RHEL and I will be the majority of RHEL
customers migrating from things like slowaris expect sendmail. A lot of these
people are old farts that have been around for a hundred years and do not
like to change things they are comfortable with. Like it or not we are most
likely stuck with sendmail forever.
