We are now requesting people adding new packages fetched from Github to
use the hash file, so our documentation should reflect that.

Adding "all" the missing hashes is not necessarily something we have to
do right now. We can wait to gain a bit of knowledge/experience using
the hashes on newly added packages (or existing packages when they are
bumped), and if it continues to work fine, we'll add all hashes at some
point in the future.

I.e, please don't send a 200 patches patch series adding hashes for all
github downloaded packages.

Thanks!

Thomas
