It is feasible. You just to care about it enough, and you certainly don't
have to do it alone, or in one go.
Otherwise, it simply won't happen, unless about 90% of the packages or so
aready use md5sums. At that figure, you have some changes of passing a
policy of 'must', and you are guaranteed to get a 'should' to be approved
IMHO.
