And you missed that the other reason for posting is that gmpassos wants to be able to use crypt() for password checking in web apps. So regardless of whether crypt() is actually included or not there are better things out there that should be used anyway. I suppose this is like having dbmopen() in core — there are people who would miss it were it to disappear (given that I understand things like DB_File replace it) but new development shouldn't be using it anyway.
