While that does happen from time to time it's pretty rare. I see maybe one case of this every couple of months in MacPorts. Additionally, after a while the checksums generally change back again in almost all cases. So, yes, this brings its own set of problems, but is still a worthwhile improvement over the current situation IMO.
