I think the goal of "on the site is same as out of the box" is laudable, but one that we may not be able to meet and still function. "With a few minor changes, as described, and working well," is better than "If I use this engine, I'll have to fight spam 24/7/365." Each place it differs from the default install, add a note stating this, and linking to a page that lists and explains those differences. This is where we could explain why the password is plain text.
