What exactly are CAs asking for? Are they asking for permission to
continue issuing such certs? Or are they asking for permission to "not
revoke" such certs?

Are the certs concerned ones which are in environments where the servers
using them would be accessed by a consumer web browser?

So such CAs would fail a BR audit if one were to take place between 31st
Dec 2013 and the time when those certs expire or are revoked?

Are we able to say roughly how many CAs are involved? And of those CAs,
how many customers have problems? And for those customers, how many
certs are involved?
