The PR has been there for months, and of course eventually removing the 
MD5s was discussed years ago when SHA256 was added. :)  But seriously,

While I am very glad that the portmgr team tested and committed this 
update it would have been nice to send a head's up so that tool authors 
had the opportunity to get their stuff updated first. I asked 
(privately) numerous times for a status update, and never received one.
