Re: SHA256 ?

isn't it time to define new algorithm numbers for SHA2 ?

I really don't understand the rush.  Last I checked, the new
variants were not even *draft* FIPS.

At the same time, I note that ECDSA is FIPS-approved, and has
a reserved algorithm number, but no details.

Note that I don't think NIST approval should always dictate inclusion
in OpenPGP, but at least in the SHA-256+ cases, they were
the originator and they may tweak them if something comes up during
evaluation (as happened with SHA-1).
