Although you are correct this is easily fixable with selecting individual packages, the sendmail.cf/postfix thing it not new behavior. It does the exact same thing in RH9. This caught me off guard the first time I saw it. I assumed that by removing the sendmail.cf and installing postfix that Anaconda/RH/whatever would have been intelligent enough to figure out that I wanted to use postfix.
