Fine, but name a "high end" MTA that doesn't do that. It's a bit like
touting the presence of airbags in your luxury car; they all have that.
When comparing MTAs, you wouldn't even mention connection reuse unless it
were absent in one of the products being tested.

That's not true. There is massive aggregation to domains like AOL.COM,
which also account for a large fraction of the user base of most mailing
lists.
