In addition, i think this is a security measure, in the event that 
someone 'cracked' my nickserv password (no matter how secure it is) they 
would still need my operator password to be able to do anything remotly 
dangerous (remembering that services can provide override, kill, kick, 
ban, op people when you are a services admin), imagine the chaos a 
compromised password could cause ;)
