The configuration of authentication looks something like:
      NEW:
      authentication {
          simple-password: "FOO"
      }
      OR
      authentication {
          md5 1 {             /* KeyID: [0, 255] */
              password: "FOO"
              start-time: "YYYY-MM-DD.HH:MM"
              end-time: "YYYY-MM-DD.HH:MM"
          }
      }

Wouldn't it be nice to specify start and end-time for simple passwords too?
Say you are currently using simple auth and would
like to switch to md5, what better way than too
specify and end-tiem for the simple auth and at
the same time enable md5 authentication?
