Hi,

today, Red Hat Bugzilla forced me to change my password because apparently a 
password of 9 random alphanumeric+symbol characters (1 symbol, 8 mixed-case 
alphanumeric) is suddenly no longer considered secure enough. This is 
absolutely ridiculous for a bug tracker. It is not like that password is for 
a bank account or for a build system (I believe FAS and thus Koji actually 
has less stringent password security requirements than that!), so how secure 
does the password really have to be?

I have generated a new 20-character random password with "pwgen -s 20 1", 
and that is good enough for Bugzilla (but who knows for how long?), but this 
is absolutely absurd.
