It will have more impact on 4.x, but not so much that it will
cause problems until 4.x goes away.

The design decision came from the consideration whether it is
worth to write another tool or probably move md5 from /sbin
to /usr/bin. Since this is a good solution for -CURRENT, it
would only matter for -STABLE when md5 where part of the
installation tools, which afaik it is not.
