A system specific generated file should not be being sent to anyone
else. It's better to write config files separately for things like
scripts or specific sets of key bindings.

Regardless, the password systems in Q3 are hardly a pantheon of
security. Passwords are input and broadcast in cleartext, they really
don't hold very much value. Therefore it's really pretty questionable
whether implementing special cases is sensible where it is only to
protect information that is already insecure.
