My initial thoughts were along the lines of "compromised database",
which admittedly data-at-rest is at the top of my mind most of the time.
 The key derivations in this document are ok for how they are used.

I thought I'd backed away from that robustness point in the email
discussion that ensued from the review, as it sounded like a concern
that was out of scope for this work.  If offline attacks are in-scope
then something that makes brute force take some real work (at _a
minimum_ PBKDF2 with 10k+ iterations, or better yet use scrypt or
argon2).  If it's out-of-scope, then this needs to be called out in the
security considerations.

Otherwise, I think a valid concern to implementers is that MD5 is
getting removed from or turned-off in various base libraries and module.
 Moving away from it helps implementations avoid having to rely on older
(and potentially vulnerable/exploitable) base libraries just to keep an
algorithm around seems very worthwhile.
