Only if you insist on using "crypt", which is deprecated anyway.
md5 is the preferred encryption method.
My feeling about the proposed patch was that crypt is now a legacy auth
method, and it's not clear that we should create platform/library
dependencies just to support making multiple connections simultaneously
under crypt auth. (Note that *using* connections concurrently is not
at issue, only whether you can execute the authentication phase of
startup concurrently.)
