I don't think that will happen. And it won't solve the problem. I think you need md5sum, sha1sum at a very core level.
While it's rather academical - where do you see *sum at a very core level? I don't see any value while booting, while building other packages, basically nowhere but in cases where you want to put things in the internet.
Okay, perhaps not for booting, but I could imagine that they're used for building. I could imagine e.g. 'make check' comparing expected vs. actual results via md5sum; ... not to mention the typical md5sum Other people use cmp or diff for that ;)
Sure. Ironically, there's even one example in coreutils itself [1] ;-) the 'factor' tests factorize ranges of numbers created by seq(1), and the SHA1 of the output is compared to a previously known number.
