Comment:

 pishmishy: I'd support removing symbols and similar characters from
 password generation - point is that the passwords generated by WordPress
 should be considered "strong" by the strength meter.  (The strength meter
 probably needs improving too, I fixed the easy side of the equation here).

 The length parameter is optional with a default value.  Callers that don't
 care about the length will leave that out, so the default can be changed
 globally later on.  This function is the API blueprint for pluggable
 versions; I think that for callers that do care about the length, the API
 ought to accept it as an optional parameter.  The function is new in 2.5
 so for long term support I think it'd be worth doing now.  I've bumped the
 milestone back down to 2.5 to encourage discussion of that.
