   > If there is a simple solution which is not harmful, I would err on 
accepting such a solution (configurable PW Hash algorithm) and letting those 
with appetite build their elegant solutions on their own time.
   
   I think you missed part of what @ctubbsii said, pointing out how that 
solution would be harmful:
   >  However, if we make it configurable, that would provide a path for eager 
security-conscious users to break themselves by switching the algorithm.
   
   Making it configurable is better but still potentially harmful and 
incomplete.
