I’m genuinely mystified by this statement. Why would the extension be included 
if not for people to use it?

(I’m not using this extension myself. But I am in the process of investigating 
the Shattered vulnerability and filing issues against the components of our 
software that use SHA-1, and thinking about how to upgrade them to use SHA-256 
or SHA-3.)

If it were for internal use only, why expose it publicly as an extension, and 
incur the overhead of having to support it and keep its API consistent?
