The only problem I have with this is that it changes the layout of the
RRD file. So applying this will cause Hobbit to stop working with those
installations that have an existing sendmail.rrd file created with the
old layout.

There's currently no way of "gently" adding a dataset to an RRD file.
If this data item is interesting to track, I think the best way of doing 
it might be to create a new "sendmail813.rrd" file with the new layout
and use that instead.
