It has been impossible to change kern.ngroups - at least for several years

It is seemingly a difficult problem:

However it should be solved - we can't be the only ones out there trying
to add a UID to more than 16 groups...
the big question is what do you do for NFS? remember something about
it only having a fixed storage for groups.

[1] Is it indeed true that these programs are broken by not following
NGROUPS_MAX from syslimits.h?
Assuming the answer to the above footnote is "yes", would it be reasonable
to fix the OS generally, but continue to hard code the limits in things
like NFS ?
Are you saying that, unlike other items, NFS _does_ respect NGROUPS_MAX ?
actually it doesn't
see:
nfs/rpcv2.h:#define RPCAUTH_UNIXGIDS 16
but what do we do if a user has > 16?
