I hate to nitpick, but I believe you meant Portage in that line. However, great work on this GLEP, you've put forth some good solid research into it. I do hope that we don't intend on settling on SHA512 as the end all solution as well. We should retain a method for bumping the hashing algorithm used when the SHA-3 family becomes available. -- Doug Goldstein
