Comment:

 > Across WordPress core, the old "'''Lost my password?'''" phrase already
 replaced with the new "'''Reset Password'''" / "'''Password Reset'''"
 phrases.

 Do you have an example?

 I'm fine with the changes in `wp-includes/pluggable.php` and the first two
 changes in `wp-login.php`, but I'm not sure we should change the "Lost
 your password?" string. Why is it "old"? Maybe it's just me, but it seems
 more familiar and user-friendly.
