If this is the way you're going to react, then it probably is.
If I want an all text no caps no punctuation no numbers password 102 characters long let me do it. *I* am the one who suffers not you dweebs. Doing it my way I have gone online since 1980 without any problems and on computers since 1962* without being hacked. I must be doing something right. If I arrange the computer so that it requires a minute between password trials how long would it take to guess "grimreap" and hack my system? How long do you think that source of hacking attempts would have enough access to get to a password prompt. THAT is security not stupid password rule enforcement which leads to forgotten passwords.
There was a bug that messed up the root user setting passwords that has apparently already been fixed (update on the way). If you don't like users having password quality rules, then disable that. It's up to you, nobody is forcing you to do anything.
