I think both
The 'announce-gen' script shows SHA256 sums in a way that are hard to verify
and understand for the users:
- Verifying requires a special command that is not easy to remember.
- Verifying requires special tools that do not exist on all systems.
- Understand why one checksum uses hex digits an
