There is no 1.43 released yet, latest is 1.42.7 which I just built in rawhide.

The "WIP" branch in git has the metadata checksum bits, so you could play
with that if you want.

I have no plans to backport unreleased upstream work in progress to Fedora,
I don't think that'd be wise.

To be honest, I haven't yet done a whole lot of testing with it myself,
yet.
