While we can already deactivate accounts in a way that effectively locks them, however, if there is no way to contact the locked user out-of-band to supply them with a new password, there is no way to "unlock" the account in a way that allows it to be used again.

Account suspension is less effective than locking, so if we do end up implementing these, locking should ideally be priorities over suspension - clients losing state isn't much of a concern when most of them have a way to perform a new initial sync anyway.
