FYI: we are discussing for a new IETF blessed RFC proposal for a
standard way to handle password policies in LDAP. Nothing implemented in
servers so far of course, but better to take that in account if someone
is going to write a patch so that it will be easier to switch to the
"standard" if we get one at the end of the process.
