 Something that I have noticed is that texts are too close to people's
hearts to expect for people to just be technical about them. I use
those three algorithms because some people "understand", md5 and not
sha###sum. I mean, you may get some legacy data with their md5sum but
the maintainers of the data may not be around. Once I found an rsync
log that included the CRC signatures, that is why I include these
kinds fo algorithms.
