The functionality provided by PGPASSWORD should not be removed unless there is a functionality other than .pgpass, which is fine for some uses and not for others, that will provide similar functionality. That could be psql and pg_dump and the like accepting a password on the command line as I stated earlier.
Putting the password on the command line would be even more of a security problem than PGPASSWORD is now. I agree that an alternative to ,pgpass would be useful, but it needs to be a *secure* alternative.
