Having a hash list of well known files might also help in forensics
analysis to find suspicious files. Also with determining the correct RPM
NVR one could use the repo metadata to check wether there are known
vulnerabilities for certain files or just to detect that the file is not
from an uptodate RPM.

How is this check going to be done?

Is the filesystem going to be mounted in a known clean environment? If not, what's the point?

If yes, how do you know the filesystem hasn't been returned to a clean state?
