I've moved the vocabulary to zope.password again, but I done the
"extra" for now, until the final decision will be made.

Well, as I said before, I wanted to use zope.password in my old Pylons
application that only uses zope.interface currently. I don't expect it
to be developed in more zope-ish way (though I don't expect it to be
developed much in near future :)), so I'd like to avoid these
dependencies.
