I think my earlier comments may have been unclear or ambiguous. I do not
believe we need a full command-line interface for modifying the configuration
file, as hand-editing the files is the existing norm. I simply meant that the
process of protecting a raw password with bcrypt is not an "in-head" operation
for most instance admins, so we should provide a utility to perform that
operation.
While I very much respect the effort that went into the supporting
infrastructure, I think it is overkill and not consistent with the global
approach.
