I'm not quite following how this helps. It's true that if SHA-256 is
broken, we're in serious trouble, but that's largely because of the fact
that that's what people's certificates have, so clients really can't refuse
to support SHA-256 certificates. So, how does adding new algorithms help?
(That's why I would argue that the existing SHA-384 support doesn't help).
