Yes, i read that multiple times from various sources, but to decide
properly, we have to ask (and answer) what is TLS version first.

I am far from TLS expert, but i understand the TLS as composition
of handshake, key exchange, message autentification and data
encryption (and perhaps some more). When we take only handshake
into account, nothing is wrong with old TLS, but then it differs...

As example, from mentioned RFC TLS 1.0 makes mandatory to
implement the TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
without it that is not TLS 1.0, it can only look as it. Do you really
consider 3DES with CBC and SHA1 as secure nowadays?

I will more believe to OpenSSL devs, from 3.0 migration guide:

  The security strength of SHA1 and MD5 based signatures in TLS
  has been reduced. This results in SSL 3, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and
  DTLS 1.0 no longer working at the default security level of 1 and
  instead requires security level 0
