I guess even when XEmacs renames password.el as well, there is problem
when a user installs a new Gnus package but has an elder ecrypto
package.
If XEmacs renames it, the following code in `tramp.el' doesn't DTRT:
;; As long as password.el is not part of (X)Emacs, it shouldn't
;; be mandatory
(if (featurep 'xemacs)
(load "password" 'noerror)
(or (require 'password-cache nil 'noerror)
(require 'password nil 'noerror))) ; from No Gnus, also in tar ball

I agree.
