This is a lot easier said than done for many organizations.  Depending
on the CA software this might be a small configuration change or might
involve a very large software upgrade.  I think the key question here
is whether Firefox will have an option to do two things:

1) Continue to accept signatures over SHA-1 hashes for end-entity certificates
2) Continue to accept signatures over SHA-1 hashes for CA certificates
in the chain

While these may seem similar (in fact from a crypto risk perspective
#2 is probably worse than #1), they frequently represent different
amounts of work required to mitigate for organizations.

Thanks,
Peter
