Comment (by joedolson):

 What kind of content would you imagine using in the placeholder field? I
 strongly feel I need an example of a valid method of using this before
 giving this serious consideration for inclusion in core.

 The login form is very simple, and the existing labels clearly convey what
 content is needed in the field. I struggle to see a useful way that a
 placeholder can be used in this form, but I can clearly see - based on
 hundreds of form implementations I've seen in the past - that it
 absolutely *will* be used as a label substitute.
