If everyone unanimously decided that they don't really care if the code for the passwords is made available or not, then it would be a bit simpler by virtue of not having different versions of ZC to have to manage. However, pretty much everyone would need to be on board with this, including the active community at purezc, not just the 10 people that voted so far.

Also just pointing out that you can't really remove passwords from ZC since they will always be needed to load older quests, but I get that "remove passwords" is not meant literally. Even if no one really cared about them anymore they would still stick around and you could still password quests, because ZC was just designed that way.
