Another thought on the below ...

Independently of SHA-1, it's a reasonable use case to be able to perform an 
algorithm rollover away from a deprecated algorithm, without going insecure.

So, as long as the standards do not prohibit validation with a certain 
algorithm, it seems like signing with it for transition purposes should be 
admissible.

How about we add a sentence to rfc8624-bis saying that

        "MUST NOT" in the context of the "Recommended for DNSSEC signing" column
        does not apply while actively preparing orperforming an algorithm 
rollover
        away from that algorithm.

This would

  (1) enable this use case;
  (2) give implementers a good reason to not kill the actual implementation, 
but rather turn it off / put warnings there / require an extra setting / ...

Best,
Peter
