It's only 'worse' than before if you assume that all your users read the
documentation, otherwise they end up futzing around with their distfiles
trying to figure out why the checksum is incorrect.  This way the ebuild
will die right off and the information is presented at the same time.
They can go get the ebuild and rename it ( hell you can even provide
them with the wget command to do so ).  As such, glad this is resolved
with at least some agreement on all sides :)
