I don't think there maths and entropy etc, is the major problem for me with 
this proposal.

The problem for me is that this a scary BC break.

If a user of a site has a silly long password now, they can still login. If 
this changes to an Exception, then they no longer can, without intervention 
from a site owner, for whom there is now BC break in the language throwing 
random new exceptions *based on user input*.

I'm going to be -1 on this one.
