Is there a way to allow certain unauthenticated PPAs?

Is there a way to allow certain unauthenticated PPAs?     Starting Jan 2017 some PPAs that still use SHA1 or have issues trying to configure the PPAs to the newer encryption may cause issues with all PPAs & even some repositories.

Yes,  I am aware some people frown on PPAs.     I see the PPAs as a good thing but that is my opinion.
