That said, I will not respond to "commit comments", ala:<br>

Because there is absolutely no way to find them again. Pull requests and issues<br>
you can navigate through a full historical list of on the web page. That stuff?<br>
Nope.<br>
<br>
(The answer in this case is "because I haven't implemented built-in sha256<br>
support yet and neither defconnfig nor the binaries I ship has sha256 support<br>
yet, it's only currently available with libssl enabled.)<br>
<br>
If I could block THOSE, I would do so. Culture or no culture, them's is<br>
counterproductiveness.<br>
