Comment (by dingdang):

 @earnjam that's good. And to keep anyway backward compatibility with
 versions of WP that are not updated - only if the hash is not provided by
 the client, it can be calculated by the API itself.

 So there will be a hash in all the cases, while it will be calculated by
 the API only for outdated clients.

 Checking for a hash match would be almost of the same comp.power -
 checking in a list of 4K (themes) or 40K (hashes) may be (?) the same.
