Yes, that is generally a goal.  The F-11 *-CHECKSUM files were signed
using a SHA-256 hash.  One unfortunate effect of moving to the Sigul
signing server for F-12 is that controlling the hash used for gpg
signatures is more difficult and resulted in the default SHA-1 being
used.

However, while using SHA-256 every where is the goal, it's still good
to make people aware that the GPG Hash: header and the checksum used
for the .iso are not related at all.  It seems that far too many
people make the mistaken assumption that they are. :/
