Also running on *separate* ports has an added advantage in distro
packaging: you can apt-get install the different components and start
them up at install-time with default configs, without having to care for
them potentially interfering with each other in the (common) case of
all-in-ones.

If we switch to using 80/8080 by default everywhere, to workaround this
issue we'll have to package each component with a config that enables a
specific port. And then we have a different defaults (the "packaging"
default and the "what happens when I remove the port option" default),
which will be confusing... for little gain.

So I'm -1 on this :)
