we should NOT!

(1) it is completely different area of responsibility.
do not mess with the users' free will.
expending of your "care" beyond the boundaries of your responsibility

(2) an ideal password should FAIL all checks.
checks are LIMITATIONS.
a password that complies to a policy is worse than a password that does not.
