This can be seen as violating KISS, yes.
And if people want to dump the patch for that reason, i have no
complaints. This patch is for convinience, not for critical
functionality.
As for ftpd -W, it doesn't log regular ftp logins, which is
really bad for security.
Maybe a better lolution would be to teach ftpd not to log annon
logins to wtmp.
