I've already done code signing with SHA-512. It is not computationally
expensive.

Modern enterprise distros already use SHA-512 in /etc/shadow.

Example:

time sha512sum scribus-1.4.5.tar.xz

scribus-1.4.5.tar.xz

real    0m0.827s
user    0m0.382s
sys     0m0.036s
plinnell@linux:~/tar/Version14x> l
total 76500
drwxr-xr-x  3 plinnell users      160 Jan 27  2015 ./
drwxr-xr-x  4 plinnell users      104 May 19 13:35 ../
drwxr-xr-x 10 plinnell users     1224 Jan 27  2015 scribus-1.4.5/
-rw-r--r--  1 plinnell users 78251228 Jan 27  2015 scribus-1.4.5.tar.xz

It just makes for ugly release notes ;-)
