Ok, look, I really would like to understand what you're trying to say
here.

What would such a warning look like? We have an RFC for PSS since 2003.
We had several attacks showing the weakness of PKCS #1 1.5. Wasn't that
warning enough? If not, how would such a warning look like? I'd really
like to know, because we will have similar situations in the future
and I'd like to avoid people lobbying in the background to continue
supporting weak crypto.

There will be some new TLS version some day and we will try to get
better algorithms into it. So how do we warn you next time?
