Yes. "md5" is to be renamed in 1.8, but not earlier.

OK to start changing the filenames to make them consistent with format
names if you like, although in general I am more concerned about user

why we took care of the former for jumbo-6 (except for names that
originate in core), but not of the latter yet.
