Public bug reported:

Please remove the requirement to have an uppercase character and a number for 
the password to sign up for Ubuntu One. This requirement stops me from being 
able to use my normal password scheme which are usually >15 characters and 
contain numerous symbols. 
For example, some of my passwords are code fragments: "<?= 
$my_password->is_strong() == true; ?>"
Somehow I don't think that will get broken any time soon, and it has no digits 
or upper case.

And if a user wants to use an insecure password, that's their decision
not Canonical's.
