I'm sorry, I completely forgot to follow up on this.  Thank you for
the nudge.

Yes, we are backporting the SHA-2 algorithms into 9.6.  It will be in the
next release, which I believe will be called "9.6.2rc1", and will be out
by the end of this month.  (I expect it to be sooner, actually; I'm just
hedging my bet.)
