??? Since when does exim4 use SA by default? AFAIK, you have to
specifically configure it to use it. Right? If so, there should be no
reason to remove it or for it to conflict with SA3.

If a program is a front-end for SA and only works if SA is installed,
then it should keep up with any changes SA is doing to its API. SA3 has
long before been in beta testing AFAIK, so it should've been quite easy
for those maintainers to fix their programs. And SA3 API isn't _that_
much different from SA2.6 API for the most used interfaces. I had to
change as much as 3 lines in SpamPD 2.12 to make it work with SA3,
though upstream did a cleaner job by supporting SA <2.7, SA <3.0 and SA
3.0 in one script as of SpamPD 2.2(0).
