Like the above commenter said, it should just serve to emphasize obtaining from official sources, running md5sum on the download to verify its what you want, etc. While we all like to believe we are careful, most people skip checking checksums in their every day life. The joy of open source is that you can look at code or trust the community to look at code, and then verify the code you receive is the trusted community-vetted version of the code.
