The reason you see many OE files with the checksums at the end of the 
file is that at one point a member of the OE community wrote a script to 
append the values to a ton of recipes and then checked it in.

I would think that keeping the SRC_URI fields relatively close to each 
other makes more logical sense. But I'm not going to get religious about it.
