(In reply to Bill Cole from comment #3)

It just occurred to me regarding the rationale you listed: If it is not
plausible that a hypothetical attack will provide simultaneous collisions
against two hash functions, then there still is no reason to check SHA-1, since
there will be both SHA256 and SHA512 hashes supplied with the updates.

The argument against checking SHA-1 is that any unneeded code provides more
places that a bug or an unexpected vulnerability could hide. Complexity is
always the enemy of security.
