I suppose that's a reasonable argument for omitting it. FWIW, when I install Linux I select "custom install"/everything... then use what I need... as I learn more and more about the details of Linux the software is there for me to use. Also, it avoids problems like the original poster had. :-) Also, my view is that avoids the problem of differing opinions regarding what gets installed... you're suggesting the Fedora packager people made a conscience decision to exclude sendmail-cf for a standard workstation install... whereas my opinion would be that if sendmail is being installed, then ALL sendmail components should be installed.
