...which doesn't work properly anyway, it seems:

I wrote a corrected patch, tested it, and just spent 3 hours trying to
work out why it broke normal functionality, only to discover that there
is a bug already in the tree which stops the user-settable values from
working correctly.

Sure, you can set the initial and repeat delays easily enough:

$ wsconsctl keyboard.repeat.deln=200
keyboard.repeat.deln -> 200

Excellent.  Try setting the default, though:

# wsconsctl keyboard.repeat.deln.default=350
keyboard.repeat.deln.default -> 200

In fact, if you check, whenever a user changes the normal value, the
default value changes too.  So a normal, non-root user can change the
values for all of the VCs.  Great.
