I was about to wonder out loud if we might be trying to hit a moving target....

I think we are dealing with a lot more moving targets than adding a new
version of SHA every 12 to 15 years.

Moving to a something more modern for internal use is one thing. But regarding the user-visible md5() function, how about we jump off this treadmill and remove it altogether? And provide a backwards-compatible function in pgcrypto.
