It should not be that hard to construct a minder process for multiple
Postfix instances. Such a thing might be useful even for single-instance
deployments to allow "postfix-restart" to work sensibly. I don't think
such a beast should at present be bundled with Postfix. This can be
a separate project. All that Postfix needs to provide is a foreground
master(8) daemon.
