[TYPO3-dev] passwords in ext_conf_template.txt

["Kitsunet (Christian Müller)"]

Well it wouldn't help anyway. It just obscures the PW, but anyone having
Admin Rights in TYPO could get it anyway. The PW would need to be stored
in cleartext into the Configuration, hash is not possible, and as an
Admin I usually (at last with help of quixplorer or similar) can read
Configuration. So even if the PW was obscured by a PW field any Admin
could find it out if he wants to...
