This would take even another step towards making brute-force a whole lot
easier with JtR, for example.

My own way would be to simply enforce the length and use some
brute-force detection to prevent the attacks. If an admin don't look at
the logs, it doesn't matter if you have 2 or 2000 failed login
attempts...
