The concerns we had was more about the wording of your original thread, stating that no plaintext password would be sent from the server. Although this was technically correct, it did sent the plaintext passwords (over the internet) to the server upon any CP-login. As sending plaintext passwords over the internet is considered reducing the standard security, we requested that text to be changed to reflect the fact that the modification did sent plaintext passwords.

Instead the author choose to remove the password from the modification, thus circumventing any possible security degradation.
