"Engineering manager Lukas Eipert said back in July. "... I hereby declare my highest degree of objection to this change that I can humanly express."

Re: It doesnt look they saved much...

No. As long as it's in writing, unless there's a disclaimer the deal is as good as done. Contracts are merely a formality and to include the ToB

Bcrypt has a 72 character limit.
