Since it's a compile time option (disabled by default) I personally
don't see the harm and does allow for a major increase in functionality
for those who want a small distribution and have a fully functioning
mail client that can send too.
I used to use mutt through cygwin on a daily basis and this would have
been optimal rather than messing around with ssmtp and clones.
