I can second this. I am using Sendmail only on one machine (replaced 
with Postfix on the others) and the same with BIND.
It should be better to not have them in base, but have them as ports 
with special care of FreeBSD team. It will give us better possibility of 
updates and fixes for users who are using them.

And if SW like this will be available for install by sysinstall in some 
extra category as 'always on the first / minimal media' (or installed by 
default?), then anybody can install it if needed.
