I upgraded to sendmail-8.11.0 before it was merged in -STABLE, and added
NO_SENDMAIL to my make.conf a few weeks ago.

In my .mc file you can still read:

	define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/sendmail.cw')dnl
	FEATURE(`use_cw_file')dnl

and I haven't found that it causes any problems with my setup.

In cw_file you put the names of the hosts / domains that should be
treated as local, i.e mail received for these names will be delivered to
a local user.  In relay-domains you put hostnames or domain names that
sendmail should relay mail for.  These messages do not need to be
treated as local, since they might be mail for a domain which lists you
as the backup-MX.
