It seems silly to remove the unsalted options and leave the salted options, 
they are basically equally [1] as secure since computational power is such that 
it is, that it’s not really worth it to use rainbow tables anymore anyways.

[1] Ok, Ok, technically salted are a wee bit more secure, but given that you 
can compute the MD5 of every single possible lower case alpha numeric of 6 
characters or less in under a minute on a single regular desktop/server.. I 
don’t believe the distinction is useful.
