I was under the impression not using SHA-1 WAS part of our release, when we
were gpg signing (based off of [1]), which I assumed was the preferred form
of assuring an artifact was not "bad". However, it looks like it isn't in
our checklist to confirm that SHA-1 wasn't used to make the digital
signature, and it looks like 0.6.1 is using SHA1.
