As previously suggested, the limit_conn and limit_req can be used 
conditionally by providing an empty key value.  This is believed 
to be reasonably easy to configure, and no further changes are 
needed.  There are no plans to apply the patch.

No.  No additional directives are expected to be allowed in the 
"if" context.  See IfIsEvil wiki article for details if you want 
to better understand reasons.
