Yes, the writing is on the wall for SHA-1 as well, and has been since 2005 or so.


Are you saying that we have to deactivate signature validation for certs signed 
with SHA-1 as well?


In the same announcement, I would send a warning shot:

    SHA1 will face the same fate within the next year or two.
    We don't know when, but we are also moving to phase out
    SHA1, and in future releases SHA1 certs may be rejected.
    No date set as yet, but be warned!
