I have no objection to eliminating it from signers, and it's okay
with me to leave it optional for validators, but that puts it to
the level of MAY, not MUST NOT. I don't think it should go to MUST
NOT unless merely *being able* to validate MD5 signatures is itself
dangerous, and I don't believe that's the case.

Yes, I understood the meaning, but I have no hope or expectation that its
status (again, with respect to validators, not necessarily signers) will
change in any plausible near future. Call it MUST- in some future revision
when we've seen evidence of a switch taking place; hoping for it isn't
enough.
