 - This needs to be updated since we seem to agree that the
   authenticator cleartext should not be used.

 - In "Is this a long term fix for the problem?" the wiki says that
   "[the need to reject AP-REQs during the replay cache recovery time]
   implies that at the very least a change in file format would result
   in an outage."

   That's not really true.  You could populate the new format file with
   records from the old one, provided you had an option for hash-less
   entries in the new format...
