Let me start by saying that I think the defaults should be conservative,
and let larger sites change things if they feel the need. Casual users
may not have a clue how to tune this, and there's no "right"
configuration, anyway.

Bad idea, takes CPU and doesn't work well. Let anyone who thinks this
helps enable it.

Clients use it, it's now pretty fast. Mildly opposed to the change.

I would leave this alone, clients generally handle timeout pretty well
these days, and running out of descriptors might be an issue.

If anyone is having nntpd start reader connections, this will tend to
drop the incoming article rate a lot. Having supported ISP-level load on
INN, I think more people should be running daemon mode nnrpd, but that's
just my opinion. This is generally a bad idea, leave the kids nice. If
CPU gets low slow readers is not as bad as losing articles.

Where does ipv6-localhost come from? Just use ::1 perhaps.
