Code-wise, everything is ready, both on the server-side and on the
client-side.

The only thing needed now is to flip the switch from md5 to sha512.

But doing so would mandate an upgrade for every packager, since
enforcing sha512 means older fedpkg versions still using md5 would get
their uploads refused.

As a result, the Releng team collectively decided to hold off the move,
and bundle it with other similarly breaking changes (new Koji
certificates, for example)

All the details are here:
