The second argument against this change follows:

On
Password:
or
Password [echo on]:

prompts user can type either OPIE exchange or Unix password (if allowed to 
do it). If this will be changed to:

OPIE Password:
or
OPIE Password [echo on]:

it gives impression that no normal Unix password can be typed at this 
point.
