I always thought that unix servers still used this because of legacy issues. Unix users don't have a domain and that servers inherited (from sendmail) this mail issue in order to deliver mail to local users (and use system authentication/authorization by default). We don't provide such system integration so it seems we just get the disadvantages and no advantage. BTW I'm fine with both solutions. It's just that now it's the moment to "change" stuff, and I think it would be easier to understand/explain/document if we only support one method as I don't see advantages in not enabling virtualhosting.
