Wait, what's insecure about LDAP?
I think we should eventually remove MD5, but I think there's no rush.
People who care about security will have already switched, and people
who don't care about security are not required to start caring.
Eventually the maintenance burden will become large enough that it
makes sense to phase it out for that reason, but I haven't seen any
evidence that we're anywhere close to that point.
