So - first:
in what situation is it useful for the two systems which cannot read both 
types of checksums to read a single repo?

do you have a repo that is used by both f11 and el5 systems at the same 
time? If so - why not just use createrepo -s sha to generate those repos?

alternatively, installing python-hashlib from epel on el5 systems allows 
yum to handle the sha256 checksums fine.

Can you explain, again, what benefit we get from this?
