And then any time you make a change to a server's settings, like changing the password, you have to edit the file again. All because of a document that hasn't been updated for most of Pan's lifetime, from an age before Usenet was primarily a means for transmitting binaries. When commercial NNTP servers actually advertise how many simultaneous connections you can make as a means of differentiating themselves from other services, it's time to let that part of the GNKSA die. If the authors don't care enough to revise it, it's time to let all of it die, or just issue your own and call it "GNKSA 3.0" since they won't care about that either.
