Acutally, I prefer we explicitly exclude only what we really want to be
excluded.

VCS sutff is forcibly excluded, becasue the git/hg/cvs/svn/bzr macros do
explicitly disable checking hashes by themselves.

Also, I would ultimately like that it is an error if there is a hash for
something that is excluded. Granted, it;'s currently not possible, but
long-term I;d like to revisit this.

So, in the end, I'd really like to only exckude what really needs to be
excluded.

Well, in my patch, it is set a few lines above. And patch 2 is already
applied! ;-)
