   From what I understand it is to allow using CouchDB when FIPS mode is enabled.  In that case computing md5 via OpenSSL (`crypto:hash(md5, ...)`) fails. 
   
   The other alternative is to switch CouchDB to use a different hash function, but that is a bigger change, so I suggested just using Erlang's built-in md5 for now as an option. 
   
   There was some discussion here about it: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1171
