Thanks.  How much are you able to test in this environment?

If I gave you a patch that removed 'password level' and with it the
password cracker (upper/lower case transition), could you verify if it
still works well enough for your clients?

The code is ugly, but it is very much contained and I don't need to
remove it in the face of an active user participating on the mailing
list, because if we break it, we know you will be able to work with us
promptly.  

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
