The point is that at the next "make installworld" your symlinks will be
replaced with a new installation of mailwrapper. At least it no longer
replaces them with sendmail.

So it really is a very good idea to actually configure mailwrapper. If
you want to save one exec and a few userland cycles, sure replace it
too. But not configuring it will bring grief.
