I snipped a portion of the context, but AGL was referring to the
considerations involved in choosing from the proposed ones for NewHash.
In context, he meant that the candidates for NewHash “are all secure”
and are therefore a better choice than SHA-1.

I think we can all agree that SHA-1 is weak and should be replaced.
