I agree with this. We already SMASH the language with the rules, trying to coerce sounds and 'likely' information out of something that a person has used as their password, where they typed things in they could remember, but doing such as to 'hide' from dictionary scanning, by typing in non-words. In a similar thought line, how many English books list using a 1 for I, or 3 for E? However, we have found that this IS something very beneficial to do. Likewise, adding Y/y to be both a 'v' and 'c' rule type, simply means that it may catch more non-words (but close words) users have used for their passphrase.
