Hi,

Their distributed observatory is probably going to help much here, but I
can offer the data sets from our paper. I'll put the paper online
tomorrow and paste the link here.

We did not find any differences in the top 200 or so, and the rest did
not seem suspicious. See the links in the previous mail for the set of
differing certs.

We did not observe that too often (Microsoft did it, not sure about
Google), but yes, we would need to crawl such clusters.

Sorry, I don't quite get that?
