Perhaps this thread:

Simon Josefsson installed password.el in net/.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-10/msg00702.html

He made a change to read-passwd to depend on password.el.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-10/msg01049.html

You said that the change was not fit in subr.el.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-10/msg01132.html

Simon backed out the above two changes.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-10/msg01377.html

So, if this thread is appropriate one and IIUC, password.el itself was
not disagreed while it was not liked to change read-passwd to cache
passwords.
