I guess I could have phrased that better. Currently admin interface
directs the user to enter the hash, not the actual password; this
would be done away with, and the user would be directed to enter the
actual password, which would be hashed by the _pre_save.

Entering the hash directly would have to be disallowed, making for
another backwards-incompatible change, but I can't think of any reason
why it'd be useful to keep that ability.
