Fair enough.

I don't understand the reason to want to do this, am I missing
something aside from why should the system stop you when it could just
warn you (similar to requirements for root). 

When upgrading to a stronger hash I have never tested if it stops you
from using the same password when the hashes are different because it
matches both but I expect, that would be how it works. Is that the
issue? In that usually you would expect a password change at upgrade
time but on a new install that may not be a consideration.
