+probably in many cases MD5SUM might be sufficient to cover the space of the available load and
+
+- its size would be even smaller than SHA1 (thus smaller git-annex footprint)
+- immediate matching to often distributed MD5SUMs
+- matching to ETags (whenever wasn't a multipart upload) in S3 buckets
+
+or use of MD5SUM hash is really not recommended for non-encryption-critical cases too?
