If done here, the text below would change to MUST and we'd likely need
another WGLC, correct?

   When using RSA, servers SHOULD authenticate using certificates with
   at least a 2048-bit modulus for the public key.  In addition, the use
   of the SHA-256 hash algorithm is RECOMMENDED (see [CAB-Baseline
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7525#ref-CAB-Baseline>] for
   more details).  Clients SHOULD indicate to servers that they request
   SHA-256, by using the "Signature Algorithms" extension defined in
   TLS 1.2.


The MUST NOT for SHA-1 is not clearly stated in RFC7525 as far as I can see.


Proposed:

   When using RSA, servers SHOULD authenticate using certificates with
   at least a 2048-bit modulus for the public key.  In addition, the use
   of the SHA-256 hash algorithm is the minimum requirement, SHA-1
MUST not be used (see [CAB-Baseline
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7525#ref-CAB-Baseline>] for
   more details).  Clients SHOULD indicate to servers that they request
   SHA-256, by using the "Signature Algorithms" extension defined in
   TLS 1.2.


MD5 is not discussed in the current version of RFC7525.
