a bug

[Evan Platt]

I don't see a bug. I see a 'patch' to encrypt the passwords stored in 
accounts.xml.

This has been discussed many, many, times here, and to sum up what 
the developers have stated (please, correct me if I'm wrong), is the 
passwords are sent in clear text, and there's no intention to change this.

Or am I misreading the page you linked to and not seeing the 'bug'?
