   * New upstream release (closes: #232281):
     - New PAM implementation based on that in FreeBSD. This runs PAM session
       modules before dropping privileges (closes: #132681, #150968).
+    - Since PAM session modules are run as root, we can turn pam_limits back
+      on by default, and it no longer spits out "Operation not permitted" to
+      syslog (closes: #171673).
     - Password expiry works again (closes: #153235).
     - 'ssh -q' suppresses login banner (closes: #134589).
     - sshd doesn't lie to PAM about invalid usernames (closes: #157078).
