No, the issue raised this morning was related to there not being SHA256
or SHA512 hashes on Ubuntu Hashes page, only MD5SUMs.

Everybody already knows my position on this one. We should stop
and replace that page with the proposed one we were working on.

However, David Symons said he would maintain the page, and has been doing so.

Note: Some might recall that I said I would never comment or engage in this
subject again. I guess I just can not stay out of it.
