BTW (in case that wasn't obvious from my earlier mail): I agree here ;-)

I'd say it "would be nice to have". But does anyone know what exact 
steps we need to do to get it? After reading
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-March/msg00004.html
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/StrongerHashes
is seems it requires a few changes in different areas of our infra. 
Somebody afaics need to look into what exactly is needed. Any 
volunteers? Anyone with a good connection to Fedora intra/Jesse/mitr 
that could ask for advice?
