The company I work for is in the process of migrating off of SHA-1 certs, and the amount of due diligince that has to go into this sort of an upgrade is incredible.
It involves analyzing full logs of all supported client enctypes and tracking down the full set of "flavors" of clients that only do SHA-1.
