I use ldns-signzone in my DNS toaster, and if I had SHA1 keys and it
stopped signing with the keys I have, updates would crash and nothing
would get updated in my DNS. I would certainly notice and would not be
happy.

On the other hand, if it issued annoying warning messages every time it
used a SHA1 key, I'd eventually notice and probably rotate the keys.

I'm with Peter, I do not see a MUST NOT as requiring vendors or operators
to do stupid stuff.

R's,
John
