I'm against it. IMHO the `pass` philosophy is to utilize UNIX tools instead of rolling one's own.
`base64` is not compatible with any password rules that require a special character.

I'll seriously consider replacing pwgen. I didn't know it was so
horrible. I'll investigate and make a decision.
I like the idea of using /dev/urandom directly, but piping it into
base64 is a terrible idea. I've got some ideas on how to do this. I'll
code a few different ones up and see how it goes. I'll also evaluate
pwgen competitors. There was a nice one somebody on this list proposed
a while ago.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Jason
