It's also used by sendmail, but we reuse it for Exim, on the assumptions
that

a) Most folks who install Exim use it to replace Sendmail completely

and

b) Those who don't probably don't care too much about someone breaking
Exim and then messing up Sendmail's spool.

Sounds like a go-ahead for the change, then.
