DescriptionSince I2P by itself a node which the user can control , it would be as well the freedom to make the user free to choose which versions of I2Ps his netdb accepting.
as old I2P are crypto horrible using SHA-1 which been proven to be broken and weak you can read about that:

So the suggestion is either:
- Remove old bad routers with SHA-1 signatures
or
- Give the user his freedom to choose which version his router accepting from I2P versions
Rejecting both ideas its like forcing the user traffic to have some SHA-1 within
