I assume you mean kill is a shell builtin. Depending on your shell. :-). It's still a real pain when you want to get the pid of the offending proces(ses). You could of course do something like for a in /proc/*; do echo -en "$a "; cat $a/cmdline; echo; done (it'll barf a lot, but give a reasonable picture)...
Anyways, this is all not relevant, imho the whole point is moot. "I don't like root having rlimits." "So don't setrlimit root."
No reason to ditch functionality.
