DES?

[Mason Loring Bliss]

Can someone explain what this will impact in normal use? Does this mean that
passwords will default to DES? I've dug around a little and I'm not seeing
where a default is set for passwords - my desktop right now is using sha512,
but if I had to guess I'd say it's because it was the crypt(3) default.

Save me from guessing! :) What is the scope and impact of this change?

Thanks.
