Comment (by my1xt):

 @SergeyBiryukov I think we can ax phpass altogether in new versions now
 that WP is committed to use recent PHP versions, and in fact that oldest
 version stated to work is something in 5.6

 https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
 "WordPress also works with PHP 5.6.20"

 or was WP downgrading ever a thing?
