Because it applies to checksums to many pages first, and potentially
to more things than data checksums in the future if we want to extend
it with more checksum-related things? In short I'd like to think that
the plural is just but fine. If somebody wishes to do again a
renaming, that's fine by me as well but I don't think the current name
is an issue.
