This matters because FIPS validations are valid for five years, but will have 
their lifetime limited to NIST’s SHA1 sunset date if they allow SHA1.

If you do a FIPS validation now, you’ll likely get a certificate in ~2 years, 
which then won’t be valid for 5, but only 3, because the build included support 
for SHA1.
