 Replying to [comment:6 nacin]:
 > Should we do both in wp_authenticate()? With and without trim? To
 prevent current bad passwords from not working? Or, since they never
 worked, is this less of an issue?

 "Currently all these users are "locked out" so we don't have to support
 their passwords" was the conclusion I came to.

 The passwords never worked so I decided it was better to not confuse the
 issue by trying to support them.
