ez, I apologize and I'm very sorry that you took my note as a personal offense. I appreciate your effort and I agree that these measures are necessary. They will be definitely applied to both Genoa 0.6.24 and Siena 0.9.11.

My note was only about the fact that salting passwords is a special measure that mitigates consequences of a database being hacked, it must not be considered as a panacea: a hacked database is not safe still.

May the Source be with you!
