having a password validator that doesn't suck is IMHO a fundamental

So are you going to enforce that people HAVE to set their passwords to things
that the validator feels don't suck, or are you going to give advice but allow
it anyway?

The former is rather draconian for a site that doesn't handle money. I've asked
this question before but didn't get a clear answer, I don't feel.
