From the CVS log 7 months ago:

Work in progress to replace /etc/security, not yet linked to the build.

Main design goals: 1. Safely handle untrusted file names and file content. 2. Output compatibility with current security(8) to please people parsing the output with scripts (except when improving functionality right away saves considerable implementation effort). Substantial functional enhancements are for later.

Prodding to do this in Perl by deraadt@. Using some feedback from espie@.
