As far as I am concerned if I want to make my password jumping I should be able too, forcing someone to make a password they will never remember leads to several issues.
1. A password cracker knows exactly what to ignore which such requirements (obviously his 4 letter word dictionary is useless in this case).
2. People have trouble remembering them, so they typically write them down somewhere (a even bigger issue).
3. It's security through obscurity.
