 it would be nice if the bulletin also contained a MD5 or CRC32
checksum so that truly paranoid could verify the validity of a file.

It's not necessary to be truly paranoid.  It's sufficient just to want to
verify that:

- you have the right patch file in your hands;
- you have the right version of the patchfile;
- you have an uncorrupted download.

... before wasting your time in case you haven't.
