And I'm trying to suggest that it's in the category that is below the floor
acceptable for discussion in the group, because it's purely speculative and
without ability to evaluate.

It might be appropriate to raise as a "suggestion" during a public review
phase (which this is not), but that it's misleading and misrepresenting to
suggest it's an "issue" with any weight whatsoever, precisely because it's
absent factual detail and cannot be evaluated in any way - much like
statements such as "Government X might do Y to this CA", which is no more
valuable than a statement "Unicorns might exist and be morally repulsed by
this particular arrangement of words in the CPS". Yes, it's a possibility,
but it's in no way actionable, and it's certainly not appropriate to
suggest that, say, Mozilla should require the CA to change the sequence, to
avoid offending the Unicorns and thus bringing about the destruction of
Earth.
