Didn't you hear md5/sha1 are cracked in seconds by evil governments and corporations, put on your tin foil hat TODAY! I think the issue is that mhash is a relatively rare extension due to a dependency on a library that is rarely available. I think that perhaps for 6.0 we need to look into a php extension that could provide some commonly used hashes without any decencies.
