We got so many questions on this that we added a large red note to the
top of https://fedoraproject.org/verify telling folks that the 'Hash:
SHA1' line is part of the PGP signature and has nothing to do with the
type of checksum used for verifying the .iso.

For future releases, the *-CHECKSUM files will include some
instructions and, likely, a link to https://fedoraproject.org/verify
to (hopefully) make this clearer.
