Presumably dealing with this issue is one of the goals of turning base
into packages, and hopefully there can be different defaults for
different architectures or profiles.  Removing just sendmail won't get
you much space back (especially if you just remove /usr/sbin/sendmail,
which is just a symlink to mailwrapper).  A small arm board is more
likely to be single-purpose, but it's hard to guess what that purpose
might be.  I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility of such a board
originating mail, though.
