This check was in place to aid the transition from sendmail pre-8.10.
8.10 was released in 2000. It's not possible to upgrade directly from
such as system (Freebsd 3?) to FreeBSD 15 so we can drop this.

Yeah, the check was just copied over from NetBSD when rc.d was imported back in 2001. You'd have to take a system older than that, do source upgrades up to 15 without ever having started sendmail and then try to start it again to be negatively effected. Can't imagine that being an actual use case.
