I would like to correct myself, I'd rather use a MAY. (=true option).

A "RECOMMENDation" should come with an explanation/rationale of the
purpose.  We currently do not see a technical purpose to _not_ use
SHA-1 only a sure waste of network bandwith, CPU cycles and
cache memory consumption.

The only purpose would be to allow explicit non-techies with universal
paranoia and braindead policies to disable it.
