I fully agree with the change BUT...

IMHO it would make sense to e.g either add inline comment about iwd
dependency or link to the bug report here.

I'd like to think that there is common will to eventually get rid of
all of SHA-1, and thus in cases where it is not yet possible it would
make sense to guide what to needs to be done to make it happen, right?
