There are a bunch of other variants with different bit sizes such as 512, 384, and 224 bits. The only one likely to matter is SHA-512, so adding sha256 might mean that down the road we need to add a sha512 module, too, but that seems unlikely.
We may consider whether adding, over time, a bunch of modules named shaXXX doesn't mean we should start thinking about a way to group all these algorithms into a single module. Armin
