How do we mitigate that a large group of CA's still use MD5 instead of using the SHA certs. We cannot force a change on them and all we would do is remove potentially harmful services from users.

MD5 is still a valid hashing function, just not a valid cryptographic function. We should be pushing as a community for CA's to move to SHA based hashes which are still cryptographically sound.
