I agree.

No it wouldn't. If you look at the way these patches are implemented,
they only override the options in CVSROOT/passwd when they exist. If
they don't exist, or don't exist for a specific repository, CVS would
fall back on CVSROOT/passwd.
Also, both patches have a file format like:
<repository>
<options>...
<repository2>
<options>...

Due to the override nature, these would effectively be run-time options.
