You should also file a PR for change-requets, so it is not only in the
email list. I second a change, since I use "blf" since 2009 without
(obvious) problems.

The manpage for login.conf also needs an update. I checked this morning
and found that thye manpage doesn't even mention hashes apart from des,
md5 and blf.
