Gerv,

I believe Issue L is incorrectly dated.  As can be seen on crt.sh,
there are two CAs operated by the US federal Government which have
been repeatedly issued certificates by various CAs trusted by Mozilla:

https://crt.sh/?caid=1324 (Federal Bridge CA)
https://crt.sh/?caid=1410 (Federal Bridge CA 2013)

These two CAs have cross-certified each other and have been issued
several certificates by VeriSign/Symantec and Digital Signature
Trust/IdenTrust. The earliest date for VeriSign is 2011-02-03 and the
earliest date for DST is 2011-01-14.

I also think that Issue L should probably be combined with the GeoRoot
items.  Functionally they are the same issue: management and oversight
of external subordinate CAs.

Thanks,
Peter
