How many such situations are there?
For now I see the following:
canonical is accepted as
dynamic_23 sapg
mscash2 hmac-md5
mssql05 dynamic_19
oracle11 dynamic_0 dynamic_2 dynamic_3 dynamic_19 dynamic_22 dynamic_23
dynamic_26 dynamic_29 dynamic_30 dynamic_33 dynamic_34 dynamic_50
dynamic_1001 dynamic_1002 dynamic_1003 dynamic_1004 dynamic_1005
dynamic_1006 dynamic_1010
phpass dynamic_17
phps dynamic_6
raw-md5 dynamic_0
raw-sha1 raw-sha1 raw-sha1-linkedin sapg raw-sha1-ng dynamic_26
