> Apache is asking to remove MD5 checksums from releases.
> *Old policy:*
> * MUST provide a MD5-file
> * SHOULD provide a SHA-file [SHA-512 recommended]
> *New policy:*
> * MUST provide a SHA- or MD5-file
> * SHOULD provide a SHA-file
> * SHOULD NOT provide a MD5-file
> Providing MD5 checksum files is now discouraged for new releases, but still
> allowed for past releases.
> *Why this change:*
> * MD5 is broken for many purposes ; we should move away from it.

> *Impact for PMCs:*
> * _*for new releases:*_
> ** please do provide a SHA-file (one or more, if you like)
> ** do NOT provide a MD5-file
