Hello

Yes.  I have to say that I too found this particular oddity quite
inconvenient and unconventional.  The following was found at the end of
/etc/postfix/main.cf on a fresh merge of postfix 2.0.16-r1.

readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.0.16-r1/readme
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
home_mailbox = .maildir/

I'd already been through the entire file and configured these very options
earlier in the file and then found them repeated at the bottom resulting
in  duplicates.  Can these not be placed at the correct positions in the
file?

Also, the default for default_destination_concurrency_limit is 20 whereas
the options given at the bottom of the file changes it to 2.  Is this
correct?

With regards.
