Security with V9.3.3 standby servers

Hi all,

An edict has been handed down here from on high that no script shall ever contain any password in cleartext for any
reason.Well this is problem with a streaming replication  
standby server's recovery.conf file as the line primary_conninfo = contains said replication user's password for that
connection.Is there any sort of plan to allow this to be md5  
or some such encoded? Or what else could I do in this case?

Thx,
Jay
