So, MinLength does not apply to the empty string? Why is that?
I would have expected that FormFu complains here also.
I mean, in this case (with passwords) it is actually better for me
(since empty password means no change). But it was not the behavior I
had expected.

Yes.

The user might have updated other fields (such as his mail address, not
shown in my example here, though).
I found that simply re-adding the value from the database (s.a.) is the
quickest solution.
