Description:
------------
http://php.net/releases/?json&max=2000&version=7 shouldn't provide MD5 hashes for file integrity. MD5 is broken and can no longer be seen as collision-resistant.

I hereby propose to remove those hashes. Any tool that relies on the API and its MD5 hashes SHOULD break and be upgraded. We can announce it before doing the change, but we can't warn on such usage programmatically.

We already have SHA-256 there, which is fine. We should also add the PGP signatures we provide in the announcement e-mails.

This is a bit of an understatement. It's trivial to create two files (one benign, one malicious) with the same MD5 hash.
