Read what Schneier wrote right before they announced the SHA-3 winner: https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-1210.html#2 There's really no security reason not to use SHA-2, and in fact it's probably better, as it has been more widely studied at this point. But that part is easy; it's the compatibility switch-over that's hard (we could also even parameterize the hash, but that has some annoyances, too). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
