OK, I misunderstood and sorry for the noise. For DVDs, indeed let us
wait for the next release. I'm in fact more concerned with ISO files I
build from an up to date tlnet/ directory thanks to:

  rsync -av --delete \ 
  rsync://rsync.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/

Agree, but still annoying (especially on Windows) that *.*.sha256 have
the same names of the their *.* counterparts (even if I don't see a
better way to implicitly relying them).

I must admit that I manually run (for instance):

$ sha256sum update-tlmgr-latest.sh
e957ef02acfc827981d9d2befcfe1abed5d757cacf791c4da7db4b06bbb6e7e9
update-tlmgr-latest.sh
$ more update-tlmgr-latest.sh.sha256
e957ef02acfc827981d9d2befcfe1abed5d757cacf791c4da7db4b06bbb6e7e9
update-tlmgr-r31674.sh
