i think it boils down to same debate 24 vs 12 words.

i think in this particular case, since user can shoot himself in the foot providing low quality entropy, we want to add system entropy as much as possible, thus, 24 words.

@limpbrains thoughts?

Ok its a good question but lets make this clear for users, like add an alert saying caution with low entropy and 12 words, and check user entropy is weak or strong

I think we should add this feature. Demanding 24 words doesn't make the process more secure.
