Yes. The hint that "this passphrase is weak" is very

enforcing any policy is just too inflexible. I just tried to explain
(unsuccessfully) to a kid (2nd grade, so any "strong" password would
simply be immediately forgotten) why she cannot change the password in
the gnome dialogue, and it was a total waste of time.
Is a second-grader actually unable to remember "correct horse battery
staple"? I strongly doubt that. Spell it, maybe not, but surely she
could remember a four-word string?
