Well, one might expect that the user at least gets some kind of 
notification that something is changing.  What happens when you end up 
with a mix of MD5 and SCRAM passwords in pg_authid?  Are users going to 
be notified about this somehow?  Has this been thought through to the 
end?  Have all combinations been tested?
