The pro's and cons don't matter. Sendmail is there, it's maintained, and you 
can turn it off if you don't want/need it.

Usability isn't an issue. If you don't want sendmail, then disable it and 
don't use it. I'm a postfix user as well, and the version in pkgsrc runs just 
fine. 

Removing the MTA and replacing it with something local-only sounds like a 
better idea than just flat out replacing sendmail.

Cheers,
