I would add it, if this is guidance for general use then it should cover all
the bases, if SHA-1 is a MUST NOT then MD5 is a REALLY REALLY REALLY MUST NOT.

(Technically SHA-1 is still safe for ephemeral signing, i.e. locations where
an attacker can't spend arbitrary amounts of time working on precomputed data,
which is most of TLS because of the nonces in the handshake and the fact that
connections will quickly time out if nothing arrives, but since TLS 1.2 has
SHA-2 built in already there's probably little point in separating out where
SHA-1 is safe vs. where it isn't).
