As far I underestand it was because "md5 is the most used", so I now add a commented line in my makepkgs that explain that "I use md5 cause pacman -g give that". I thing maybe if a big number of user submit the patch ask in forums and/or add the bug (carelessly if is regected) that could bring the questioning if is a good idea use md5 -- *Pablo Lezaeta*
