Comment (by jenmylo):

 Password requirements on the internet is one of the worst user experiences
 anywhere. This comment serves to voice my strong objection to WordPress
 requiring any kind of specific password (including banned words). Showing
 a message explaining why a password choice is insecure and could lead to
 bad outcomes later with an AYS would be useful, but deciding what someone
 can do on their own with their own login information site is not good.
