Drop checksum checking? I am not in favour of this. The check does 
provide valuable reassurance that the source's are not changing in 
"funny" ways. This is valuable data for many people.

We have ways of disabling the checks for people who are less concerned 
with image integrity.

I agree the current implementation is not perfect, but it is a good 
compromise.

The only thing I would like to see is a way to keep a local checksums 
file for people using overlays and other out of tree sw.
