TBH it's up to you. If you're saying this is a partial fix but doesn't
fix the main part of the problem for you then you can either release
this SRU and do another one to fix the rest of it, or block this one. It
doesn't really matter to me.

I would appreciate it if someone could help out on figuring out what the
problem is here though. Is it something to do with deleting the password
when you go to ACT_USER_PASSWORD_MODE_NONE? If so, what's the right
thing to do? And also, what happens if you operate on a user other than
the current one?
