With apologies to Einstein, we want to make it as simple as possible,
but no simpler. :-)
If there are things that we currently leave up to the operator that can
be done in a fail-safe way by the system, great. Those things that
can't be done in a fail-safe way should be left to the operator.
Editing /etc/mailer.conf is one thing (and it's a thing that sysinstall
does now), but switch-to-exim.sh? That has the potential to be a
complex task that a human operator should perform.
