Comment:

 So?  Features get merged into alpha, and rarely if ever get backported,
 and this was a new feature that happened to get merged into 6.5a (#19206).

 The fact that the password component doesn't change is irrelevant as long
 as `NEWNYM` is being sent anyway, since all existing circuits (with
 colliding identifiers) will not be used for further traffic.
