I just read this article on BLAKE3 1.0 coming soon[1], and the
performance of BLAKE3 looks extremely compelling. With the context of
thinking about Btrfs authenticated hashes and fsverity[2], it seems
like it would make sense to see if BLAKE3 can provide us roughly
similar performance to xxhash or crc32. If so, that would make it
highly attractive for a new default hash, too[3].

Especially in the context of security I'd say we shouldn't be quick to
jump on the bandwagon. Let the algorithm be ratified, let it simmer in
the public for a while to see if any weakness are found and then we can
consider adding it.
