You would, however, have plaintext copies of every piece of other sensitive information in that database. Who cares is passwords are harder to brute force, once an attacker has walked away with everything in the OPM leak? Don't get me wrong, I'm hugely in favour of hashed passwords. But with this sort of data it's a long way from making a complete database leak a nonissue.
