CRC was never a cryptographic hash so there is no need to deprecate it.

MD5 (and SHA1) is already absent or deprecated in many cryptography libraries, e.g. https://cryptography.io/en/latest/hazmat/primitives/cryptogr...

Every time someone uses MD5 or SHA1 for something that isn't legacy-backcompat, they further delay their deprecation/removal unnecessarily.
