We should definitely rename it, because until yesterday I didn't know that "SHA-512/256" was an actual thing. I thought it was just shorthand referring to both SHA-512 and SHA-256.

Edit: this comment got 7 upvotes before the editing timeout, so I'm not the only one either.



Having read the article and the comments above yours, and being generally aware that there's some truncation thing related to SHA-256 and SHA-512 somewhere, it still took me until your comment to catch onto that.
