Alon,
I agree with the desire to store the PW in plaintext and in a 
non-obfuscated manner.  In this case, obfuscation really doesn't gain 
anything.

I would suggest; however, that the migration to plaintext be coordinated 
with a simultaneous patch to the the Log Collector.  It does have a 
dependency on the current architecture.
