There is a difference between if MediaWiki could generate passwords and if it should. When there is an engine that generates passwords, this same engine could be used to generate passwords for an attack. Choosing passwords is the end-users responsibility. It is exactly by choosing a 1 in stead of an l that a brute force attack becomes slightly more problematic.
Heh, check the passwords that most people use, I bet you find they're all "puppy" and "susie".
