I think certainly there should be some protection against 
passwords like "monkey" (why monkey and not kangaroo, for 
example?) or "iloveyou" (as the Pope Francis said our message 
should be based on love not hate!), but when it tries to do too 
much more it is getting in the way even to the people who 
actually know what they are talking about. VM machine used only 
for temporary compilation on the old platform just doesn't have 
to have 63-random-chars password from
