Yes, definitely leave SHA2 in. (I think I was one of the people who pushed
to have it added.) "SHA2", or rather "SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512" are hash
algorithm ids 8-10.

What I'm refering to above is the hash algorithm id 4 -- "double-width
SHA".

I would like to see hashes 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 remain, and if possible,
hashes 4, 5, 6, and 7 removed.


All right -- here's what I'm hearing -- get rid of MD2, Haval, and DW-SHA.
DW-SHA is not the same thing as SHA-256/384/512, sometimes called SHA-2, but
not by NIST.
