 I'd like to suggest expanding the users table user_pass field from 64 to
 255 characters to allow the PHP >= 5.5 password_hash() function
 PASSWORD_DEFAULT option to generate a character string up to 255
 characters as new and strong algorithms are added. This would allow
 plugins that override the default password hashing functions to not be
 limited to the PASSWORD_BCRYPT option going forward. Would really like to
 see this in WordPress 4.4.
