Like George already said, leave it in if it's at all reasonable. Heck, I
have wishlist bug numbers in the 16000 range, they're still reasonable and
I still haven't implemented them.

As for this specific bug, smartcard readers would appear to be coming
closer to your desktop than you might think (or like). Certainly banks
use them under WinXP for additional security. I'm pretty sure OBSD has
support for them as well. So it's just a matter of time, waiting for
someone with a card reader and too much enthusiasm.
