Given that the only party for whom SHA-256 use is postulated as being
mandated is the US federal government, has anyone from the US federal govt.
actually stated that they intend to make SHA-256 a requirement over SHA-1?

My understanding is that the new SHA hashes are supplemental to SHA-1 and
that the accreditation for SHA-1 is unaffected (at least for the
moment).Certainly one would hope to see DSA updated before SHA-1 is
withdrawn!

Has anyone heard different in this regard?
