The benefit of listing the sha256 for files is that it prevents this question coming up again and again because md5 is old and rightfully on the "never use" list for many people. Even if there are situations where it is fine as an effective improvement over a CRC.
Would it be possible to provide multiple hashes, like MD5 *and* SHA256 (and maybe also SHA512)? Or is there a practical problem to list multiple hashes on a web page?
How about zero hashes?
