Agreed, at present it is not actually useful.

The minimum is variable because some key modes exist that require a
certain length passphrase, but none of them have been implemented yet.
The 8 character limit is in fact quite artificial and will likely be
replaced by a more precise per-cipher/crypt_type limit eventually.

For the moment I think we could simply drop the variable if it makes
translator's lifes more difficult. If it's not too bad, perhaps we could
also live with the (probably minor?) inaccuracy in translations. Both
options are fine with me, let me know what you prefer.

cheers,
Max
