What he's saying is that the upstream now installs Postfix as the default
MTA install, rather than Sendmail. As a result, it's likely that CentOS
does the same.

One can install an alternate MTA if they like, but the "stock install" of
CentOS drops Postfix on the system as the MTA. Sendmail is no longer the
default MTA installed by upstream or CentOS.
