Understandable, hence my comment in the summary message:

The second patch removes the old code to generate missing checksums.ini
entries - can be applied later, once the switch to the new method is
complete and proven.

While it's possible to script, the migration path was defined as to only allow 
deletion from the central checksums.ini file, while adding new checksums in 
the corresponding recipes. Still, converting all the entries from the 
checksums.ini at once would have been a fastest approach.
