How would user passwords work if not stored in the core?

When someone logs in currently I just ask the core if the password is valid and 
off we go.

TBH, I desperately want to purge user passwords from core too!  I think
they're almost completely unused; the only reason to keep them would be to
help Postorious or other REST clients.

Will do.  I'm working on the subscription policy branch again, and this is a
useful refactoring I'm committing before other work.  I'm trying to decide
whether to commit this to trunk now or when subpolicy lands.  Stay tuned!
