I doubt IBM will enhance the old way of setting password rules. Besides that, new System Values are usually only introduced with a new IBM i version and IBM i 7.6 was announced less than a week ago, so it is at least 2 years before next version
I think you are better off to convert your password rules to use the new QPWDRULES and you will have a better way to tailor the password rule by using the QPWDRULES than stick to the *PWDSYSVAL.
They have an auditors requirement and explaining a major shift in their security value strategy is a challenge. So having QPWDRULES as an add on vs replacement or just providing a system value to enforce case sensitivity would be sufficient.
