No, we currently have no plans on updating the built in MD5 lines to process passwords with password_hash and password_verify. Keeping assets updated for PHP compatibility has been our main goal with current rounds of updates.

If we do update the mechanism in the future users would have to request a new password before being able to login with the forgot password system as you cannot decode an MD5 hash to update it to another hashing scheme.
