IIRC this was demanded as a feature multiple times.
Most users don't have an en_US keyboard layout. They can never know what
characters their keys produce. And if you have a mix-up there, you can never
again log in as root. Most users will have to reinstall.
Just think what happens when you think you have a German keyboard and you have
either a "Z" or a "Y" in your root password. If you have the wrong keyboard
layout at that time, you set a root password that is different from what you
think you have. Game over. Reinstall.
