I would like to have a sha3 command line tool. Just to have it there and start using it. For example adding it to ports distfiles would be trivial. Yes, general protocol transition will be hard. And it will not happen before sha2 is broken. And we will live with broken hashes for a long time. But I think this is not an argument against sha3. Of course there is the question whether this should be in libc and /bin. But this is independent of adding sha3 and even more relevant for broken md5 and sha1. So I would add one sha3 tool there for consistency. If we feel it does not belong there and it hurts, all the hashes could be moved. bluhm
