If the lead solder is actually functional in some way then they may have to attempt to find an exception under RoHS. They could attempt to define the usage so as to have an application not covered by RoHS for example.

This analogy is kind of confusing because RoHS is an imposed standard. A user of SHA1 is expected to make their own decision about appropriate usage. They might reasonably continue the usage of SHA1 for their specific use case. The real world is full of such compromises.
