Comment (by johnbillion):

 There are a lot of complexities involved in preventing brute force
 attacks, which is why I suggest that this remains in the realm of plugins.

 Just one example: I work in an office and everyone working there shares
 the same IP address. This means that we cannot block an IP address if
 someone enters an incorrect password X times, because you're not going to
 be popular when you lock out the entire office.
