Yes.

It would be for the skeleton and the host skeleton.

But do we even care ? The order returned by find is not even guaranteed,
as this depends on the order of the entries in the directory anyway,
so...

Also, note that xargs will not run an md5sum process for each file, but
will coalesce multiple calls into a single one.
