It says that in 6.0 also, so it will probably be at least until 7.0  
that it continues to work.

Personally, I think having to set a bazillion variables to turn off  
sendmail in rc.conf and periodic.conf is just a pain (and probably a  
wrong design as it totally violates POLA), but at least it is just a  
cut/paste everytime I set up a new server.
