Why was exim removed?

Can anyone in the know explain why Exim was removed?

I work at an ISP that uses Fedora extensively, and all our servers use Exim, as we find it much simpler to configure and much better behaved than postfix/sendmail. We don't want to change just because the distro has dropped support for the package, and for our large email system that does 800,000 emails a day we *can't* change - our entire mail platform is built around Exim.

Is there any chance Exim can be re-added to the base FC4 and future Fedora Core builds?

I can happily go an make my own packages, but its very inconvenient, and I'm sure a lot of people out there are using Exim too.

Regards,

Nathan.
