actually i don't care much about this issue, but since you raise the
question - i have show my support for Gert/the proposal in general here,
that is, i'm IN FAVOR of the depreciation of CRYPT-PW.

It's not needed, it's more than a litte more insecure than MD5-PW, it
doesn't change anything operational.

..and no i'm not going to comment any other side-arguments here, gets
too personal.

I support the original proposal - full stop.
