Ubuntu's MOTD are well known and people seem to like them a lot. Fedora hasn't been making that much use of them. But I think we should in general.
Do not follow Ubuntu on this too much. I've had a case of a machine with many short-lived incoming ssh connections where the performance bottleneck was the constant regeneration of the motd on each login. Sabotaging that stuff brutally was the only way to get back to good performance.
Ubuntu's MOTD requires network connectivity to function, I think ours would not. That would eliminate the network resource contention issues you were seeing.
