The big functional difference is that postfix requires root be aliased (to
user postfix by default, since it's not know a priori what user accounts
will be created) since postfix LDA doesn't run as root and therefore can't
deliver to root

If you consolidate, you'll have to alias root for all MTAs (not that I think 
that's bad, but...)
