Re: why the change in the checksums

Zack's eminently feasible automatic steps snipped.

I agree, and did actually think of those solutions to 2 and 3, I didn't
think of the one about setting the repos to read-only in case 1.

I merely meant to point out that there isn't a single reason why a checksum
error can occur, so we can't go blindly recovering from checksum errors.

In the long term I'd love to see something like your proposal happen, although
I can't see anyone having the time to work on it pre-1.0.
