When I've said that SHA1 hashes are stored in security database, I've 
meant exactly SRP verifiers. SHA1 is used for calculation of SRP 
verifier, and this is the only result of SHA1 stored in the database.

BTW, except invalidation of all existing passwords this step also 
invalidates all old clients, including Java and C# clients, not using 
fbclient library. And it's hard to say what is worse.
