Examine the cert of "https://www.sevendays.co";.

Here's one of those certs with a huge number of unrelated hosts.
This seems to be a Cloudflare legacy setup from the pre-TLS era.
Unfortunately, this cert became valid on 10/09/2014. It's
not a legacy cert.

Should certs like this be rejected as misrepresenting the identity of the organization? Junk certs like this let any domain in the cert
impersonate any other domain, so they are a form of "wildcard" cert.
Now that all major browsers have TLS, they are unnecessary and can
be phased out, correct?

Firefox displays "You are connected to sevendays.co. Verified
by GlobalSign NV-SA" for this site. That misrepresents what the
cert really told Firefox.  The message should read "You are
connected to one of the following sites, and give the list.
Or perhaps "You are connected to ssl2910.cloudflare.com" which
appears to be authorized to host sevendays.co".  That would
assist in accelerating the phaseout of these old certs.

There's a real risk here.  A break-in at any of those sites
allows impersonating all of them.  This creates a huge
attack surface.
