Not sure if that widely discuss
Older OpenWRT releases won't get the new package (or the updates) anyway
so breaking compatibility is not an issue.
Although using a misleading name is still an issue. In LEDE core repo
that var was renamed into PKG_HASH and contains a SHA256sum.
The LEDE buildsystem works with both variables

Hello Hannu,
why should a variable be called MD5 if it holds an SHA256 hash? That
does not make any sense.
Could you, please, point me to the thread on the openwrt or lede list
that discussed this weird idea.
Abusing the MD5 variable with SHA256 hashes will break compatibility
with older openwrt
