It does, however, move away a lot from the classical paradigm that we
have always been using, and the word "virtual" in a mail context is
heavily overused.

If you are that emotional, please go with postfix.

I do not see enough arguments to have this added to the default
configurationn. I would be willing to add the configuration snippet as
an example in /usr/share/doc, as long as the word "virtual" is not
used and it is exactly explained what the configuration snippet does.

I am not going to write these documentation myself though.

Greetings
