BTW, out of the 70-odd boxes I manage, I would use (and do use) cracklib

I'm sorry. What keeps users from setting their passwords to "password"?
BTW, PAM doesn't do password checking without a dictionary such as
CrackLib, so I don't really see what your point is.
Why keep them from setting their passwords to "password" if that's what
they want to do?
Scenario where not having strong passwords can be a problem involving
only the default LFS tools:
you finish building LFS on your computer, and decide to celebrate by
going out to eat, a thief breaks into your house and steals your
computer.
*shrug* so? If someone decides that the information on their computer is
just not important, they should be able to set whatever password they want.
