Well, my point was that one of Lennart's original arguments for NOT reading login.defs was that /etc/ wouldn't have it when bootstrapping. But as you've just confirmed if you *are* bootstrapping /etc, then using the compiled in defaults makes sense as you are very unlikely to be copying across a factory version of login.defs anyway. My point was that if you WERE copying across of a factory version of login.defs it should really be setup with the same defaults that systemd has compiled in anyway. So again, this is just furthering the argument that we *should* read /etc/login.defs at runtime and the "bootstrapping" argument for not doing so is not really valid.
