Assume we may have reason to believe that SHA1 is within reach of well
funded adversaries, and assume it had a code-point in DANE.

Site A only publishes SHA1 entries.  Would rather do unauthenticated TLS
than trust SHA1?

Site B publishes both SHA2-512 and SHA1 entries.  Would you still want
to trust SHA1?
