I can't really comment on anything that may be released in the future.

I'm not sure that remote logins are useful.  What do you want to do with
them?  We don't have a remote windowing system or a multiuser OS, so
I'm not sure why you need this.  You can already send commands to remote
Amigas with the rsh command.  I use this extensively to have CygnusEd
and QED edit all my mail and news files, regardless of which Amiga I
am currently on.
