One of the considerations with code that is dealing with security
sensitive information is to minimise the ability of it to be corrupted.
I can trivially imagine us having password getting facilities in bzr,
and then a plugin hijacking them.

That said, there are good ways to do it, you can use the SSH X interface
for instance, ask-ssh-pass or whatever it is.
