I believe that many of you are all too narrowly linking HASH and

What about particular CRC32 - it produces output value with length
just 4 bytes, even using SHA1 with 20 bytes returned was accepted as
security risk in some places (like SRP), making us move to hashes
with longer output. Sean, I do not know under what condition can it
be used as cryptographic hash.
MD5 is not considered as a cryptographic hash any more as well.
Shouldn't it to be removed from hash list...?
Left for backward compatibility.
