Yes, but we're talking about cases where the "user" *doesn't* have access
to Asterisk.  At many locations, including mine, Asterisk runs on a
machine dedicated for that purpose and only people administering it have
access to that machine.  But config files are placed in a CM system which
MANY more people have access to.  Having plaintext passwords in those
files is a real problem.
