Understood.  So, how about this.

If, hypothetically, one were to look at implementing (or, frankly, copying
the BSD-licensed part of BSDI's implementation) "login.conf", at least as far
as having login(8) assign different default limits to different users, etc.,
would one be wasting one's time?

I have enough interest in this feature to think about it, but not enough to
do it solely for my benefit.

Basically, I'm willing to think about this, but I'd like to have some idea
of whether or not such changes would be accepted before I put much time into
them.
