The real problem here IMO is how to distinguish between "adding a

IMO it's easy - any group of services you want others to be able to use
independently could justify a new port, but you can always mux them all
together if you want to avoid additional firewall configuration issues.
So what would you use for muxing, if TCPMUX is not a good idea?
I.e., this is your call. But it doesn't appear to have anything to do
with the notion of a single port to access any *existing* service, which
is what TCPMUX and its descendants does.
