 I was able to update my code in 15 minutes, so maybe we can break it.

 Devil's advocate: it doesn't matter how long it takes if the people who have the legacy version don't ever hear about it, or aren't maintaining their code any more

 God's advocate:  nip 49 was only recently merged in, and I think we only have gossip, amethyst and fiatjaf's tools implementing it, but I could be wrong. Also, the change changes almost nothing: 99.99% of actual passwords will work either way. Without the change, some passwords will fail to be portable between computers. With the change, no password will fail to be portable between updated clients.

Devil's Advocate: But between updated and non-updated clients, even more passwords will fail to be portable than before the change.

 I already had one user testing an emoji password :) 

Not sure if it would have broken it, but probably did.
