Yeah, but that's ... *bad*.  Breaks most of the Web of Trust, makes most
cert sigs meaningless, removes the fallback cipher ... I think this is a
great example of a cure worse than the disease.  :)

Phil Pennock made a post a bit ago detailing his experiment with
disabling SHA1.  It was informative, to say the least.
