Self-signed root certificates tend not to be transmitted.
If you don't have the right anchor, the chain is useless.
I do have counter-examples (BRSKI) where it is either useful for debugging,
or essential to get pinning right.
However, it's a greenfield, and we'd prefer to encourage ECDSA anyway, so I
strongly agree that SHA-1 algorithms can get large values.

I couldn't tell with the replies of "Agree" what other posters actually were
agreeing to.
