6858	Migrate legacy md5 password support out of the User model	James Bennett	nobody	"As proposed [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/c3b84911d95e81ab on the developers' list], I'd like to remove the checks in `django.contrib.auth.models.User.check_password()` for dealing with legacy unsalted md5 passwords (which were the default before the 0.91 release). Attached is a patch which removes this, and moves the transparent ""password upgrade"" functionality into an auth backend for legacy support, which can be used by sites that need to worry about this."
