Less code redundancy
Fewer points of failure (more daemons = more failure)
Less memory usage (fewer daemons = less memory)
More cpu efficient (fewer milters = less parsing the same message over and over)
Fewer config files to mangle and maintain

IMO milter-greylist could just be renamed milter-acl. It is already a 
complete acl system, only missing the blacklist feature.
