I agree. Forgetting to remove a bad password is less friendly than
forgetting to add a good one.
Now that you mention it, I agree: it usually doesn't make sense to add
the password to the cache when reading it. So I guess we don't really
want `password-read-and-cache'.
I agree that we should also mark `password-read-and-add' as obsolete.
If the only desired operation is to read a password and see if it is
in the cache, then I think we should give `read-passwd' an optional
KEY argument and make it just check the cache, not add. That won't
lead to the previously described code-copying problem, because the
cache will not have passwords for the new application unless it also
has calls to add to the cache.
