Actually, he did seem to have at least 
some legitimate sour grapes. There are 
two different 
threads on the PEQ forums discussing the issues with the implementation of this code.
Where I disagree with Fault, however, is in saying that it should not be committed into the code. It absolutely should; all it needs is a little tweaking and debugging like most code submissions. They're submitted here so many different pairs of eyes can look things over and try them out, reporting back what needs fixed.
Oh, and limiting connections isn't part of 
this code, and should be taken to 
that thread if you want to complain about it. However, complain about the 
code if it's broken. If you don't like what it 
does, then just turn the rule off. The server operators get their choice in the matter.
