It's finding _more_ random passwords in a technical sense of "random". (More
random = containing no sequences. Or more accurately, no part of the number
follows from any other part.)
I agree that the super-cool validator may be overkill for the current state
of LUGnet -- there's no money or credit card information involved. However,
it may be quite reasonable for the future.
