There is nothing wrong with the system suggesting if a password is strong or
weak in the programmers opinion, however a site administrator should 
still be able to set what password they want.  If a person can't remeber a
password because it's too hard, then they will either set it to auto entry,
or write it down on a postit note or something equally insecure.

BlueOnyx already locks out dictionary and other brute force attacks quite
well.
