BIND 9.18.6 disables RSASHA1 at runtime?

Hi BIND developers,

The release notes for 9.18.6 say:

"The DNSSEC algorithms RSASHA1 and NSEC3RSASHA1 are now automatically 
disabled on systems where they are disallowed by the security policy 
(e.g. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9)."

Does this happen at runtime when BIND starts?

If an administrator updates the security policy on an EL9 system and 
allows SHA1, will BIND 9.18.6 then be able to validate zones signed with 
RSASHA1?

Regards,
Anand
