If it was *just* adding a new signing algorithm then yes it would be a minor
change.  A lot more happened under the hood to support the new algorithms
on all platforms.  Remember crypto support on some platforms is pretty
old and doesn't support SHA256/512 + RSA directly so we had to use more
primative methods on these platforms.
