I think that thread is talking about some other page than the one that
confused Jeff.  In particular, this thread refers to changing some
string value on a page from "SHA1" to "SHA256."

1. If you alter a GPG-signed message, you've just screwed the signature,
since most of the value of the signature comes from being able to verify
that no one has changed the message.

2. Maybe it hasn't replicated, but I still see "SHA1" when I look at the
pages Jeff referenced.  And BTW that's a good thing.

Or am I the one confused?  I'm looking at only those pages Jeff lists above.
