  I don't see a reason why you couldn't raise the limit on the number
  of contracts inetd creates in the shipping product.  The point of the
  control is to prevent users from denying service (contracts are cheap
  to create but have a fixed namespace), not to create an employment
  program for system tuners.

Ok, I'm with you on that.

  The only thing I'd look out for is to make sure that if you put inetd
  in a new project, that the services it starts are correctly placed
  into their projects and aren't simply inheriting inetd's.

Hmm... are you implying that when inetd starts a new
service that it will not apply the method_context
properties, if set?

My temptation with inetd would be to have it take a
snapshot of which project it is in when it starts,
put it in the inetd project that has no limit on
max-contracts (or otherwise just remove that particular
resource control ?), and then place all of its children
in the project remembered from startup, unless there
is a specific project property in their context_method.

Sounds more like an RFE than bug-fix...
