SETTINGS > Pwd policy
On the basic agenda, I can set a very strict policy.
Then, on the extended agenda, I can make this policy less strict. What's the whole point of this? After all, I could simply set a less strict policy on the basic agenda in the first place.

Let's say I do want to keep all of my policies set on the basic agenda,
AND I want to make sure that all five are, in fact, the minimum number required - I get quite a lovely message :-).

Is this agenda meant to relax the policy between different systems with different pwd policies, is this the main purpose? If that's the case, then it should be made more explicit to help users understand the actual benefit of this agenda.
