Enough time has passed since the need to abandon SHA-1 has become
more pressing to discern at least a couple short-term trend-lines.

It seems that algorithm 7 is indeed slowly trending down (it would be
good to see a larger downward slope), but unfortunately, the number of
algorithm 5 domains is actually growing.

  * If you're continuing to sign new domains with algorithm 5, please
    reconsider.

  * If you have existing domains signed with algorithms 5 or 7, please
    migrate to 8 or 13.

Separately:

  * If you're managing one of the ~8k domains with 512-bit RSA keys,
    please migrate to a more reasonable RSA key size or P256.
