Probably because he's a very hassled/busy guy.
That said - I would concur that any site using sendmail that has
significant mail requirements should be looking with a fair degree of
priority at either qmail or Exim (which is what we went with). I know of
enough people to be aware that qmail is a valid "better than sendmail"
solution and can speak very highly indeed of Exim from both direct and
near-direct experience.
