In any cases I would prefer to deal with it on another bug report.
Actually my concern is that some people could find it is a too strong
requirement.
Indeed you can have a very strong password without any special characters. It
could lead to user frustration.
And libraries will turn it off.

It says: "Now that we have a check client-side, nothing prevents us from a
smart guy to bypass it and force an invalid password.
This patch adds two new subroutines to Koha::AuthUtils to check the
validity of passwords and generate a password server-side."
