[ As always, I'm impressed by your ability to expose things clearly ]
Can you, or Aaron, or anyone else interested in the matter submit a
proper bug report (at least against "login" for /etc/login.defs)

this presentation)?
That way it would be easier to track the status of this proposed change.
Cheers.
