Another consequence of that is that even MD5 collisions aren't at all trivial to exploit in general. An attacker can create a collision, but it's a slow process, and the colliding content is pretty constrained. You'd probably need to be very well informed, and invest quite some creativity to find two messages that are "valid" to whatever system is processing those and have sufficiently different meanings to be useful to you.
Clearly doable in specific instances, but it's not going to be an addition to the script-kiddie attack handbook anytime soon.
