Tiny nitpick: calling it "SHA384-STABLE" might be a tiny bit confusing
(to me), as I've seen that word refer to some particular hashing
approaches/properties.  Actually some of the algorithms that efficiently
recompute after small changes in large zones... I'd even tend to call
those digests (more) "stable"/"steady" intuitively, but that might be
personal :-)  I certainly don't have a strong opinion on the naming and
don't want to bike-shed, but I could imagine calling it "simple" or
"flat" or something along those lines.
