Hi all,
I am new to this list and just want to give my two cents as a first step. I mainly will give my best on i18n things in future (en->de).

I can't speak to whether the work is worth the benefit, but I'm definitely in favor of the change. I've always questioned the benefit of having recoverable passwords. I feel like a password should be a one way thing. You put it in, and you can't get it back. If you forget it, you have to reset it. I think password reminders are unnecessary, and I don't really like having passwords in my email anyway. Perhaps a reminder of how to access your membership settings and reset your password would be a better option anyway.

However I am not impressed by the fact that such a "major" change should be done to 2.1.6 but if the majority says "yes" I will follow. Maybe it would be possible to give the installer options like (just out of my brain):
./install update
- preserves settings like in 2.1.5
with monthly password reminders
./install upgrade
- rewrites everything to Barry's suggestions
./install - defaults to upgradeAgain however, a GUI-Option should be possible to "upgrade" later if the valued ListAdmin did an "update" in first instance.
I know, this will cause in double work maintaining two areas of MM and as I am not that much into coding, but I think this would be pretty. Upgrading should mean to install the "Technology Preview for MM3" ;-)
bis dahin/kind regards
