I believe one of the benefits of changing the password is that it's not
uncommon for web services to use an email address as a user name.  If a
user uses our address, and their associated password, and later that web
service gets compromised, there is a decent chance when the hashes are
dumped that they will have had to change our password and will no longer
sync them.


Good point. How many of you had student@edu accounts included in the Adobe
breach?
