The patch looks good to me.

One sentence in the commit message struck me as weird:

> Use cleartext instead of plaintext because; it is consistent [...]

I guess that you intend the semicolon as starting an enumeration,
but this is a usage I have never seen before.
However, the committer will adapt the commit message anyway, so
(from my point of view) there is no need for another version.
