Use of MD5 has security weaknesses, better to use SHA 512. Any feedback is welcome.

Greetings,
I am a security researcher, who is looking for coding patterns that are indicative of security weaknesses in Chef scripts. In your repo I found instances of MD5 usage within Chef scripts. MD5 is breakable (http://merlot.usc.edu/csac-f06/papers/Wang05a.pdf). According to the Common Weakness Enumeration organization this is a security weakness
(CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/327.html).
Use of MD5 has security weaknesses, better to use SHA 512. Any feedback is welcome.
