Comment (by harrym):

 Yes. I agree with Otto.

 Switching to bcrypt as the default will only affect a very small number of
 people (if any) who go from a newer version of PHP to an older one.

 In any other case, PHPass figures out what to do.

 Does anyone know how you can check for PHP feature X in PHP version Y?
 Can't find old versions of the manual anywhere and the current version
 says crypt has been supported since PHP 4, and CRYPT_BLOWFISH since 5.3,
 but doesn't say when CRYPT_EXT_DES was introduced.
