All the md5 hashes in every single update message sent to this list

[B1towel <ben () b1towel com>]

What is the purpose of all the patch notification emails that when a security vulnerability is fixed the people who 
send out the notification email include a 5 mile long list of md5 hashes for every single package and all dependancies 
for the package that was updated? I feel that information does not need to be in the notification that the latest 
version fixed a security vulnerability, and to me it just gets in the way of reading the occasionally useful content 
this list has to offer.
