So, the more I check this out, the more it appears that the term 'drop-in
replacement' for PostFix seems to contain a lot of artistic license...
Seriously, to me 'drop-in' always meant that it will readily use all
existing configuration files, in all the same locations, and will work just
as what it replaces.

This does not appear to be the case.

It appears to be pretty spiffy for any new installations (as I have tried
and discovered), but a rather tedius cross-grade when one comes from an
existing Sendmail installation - this also explains my earlier wonderment
why no larger migration to PostFix has taken place yet, from SendMail.

Honestly, since Sendmail still is the standard, it appears to me that some
from of automated conversion tool would contribute greatly to a larger
adoption.
