I am curious about the software requiring the 1024 bit cert off the root.
The dates of mis-issuance are 2013-2014, which is still early in adoption of
the BRs. At that time, the scope of the BRs was confusing and lead to lots
of discussions. Although the term "intended to be used for authenticating
servers" is still the scope of the BRs, everyone seems to agree that this
means all certs with serverAuth are included. This was not the case in 2013.

Hi Kurt,

I appreciate that you're engaged and offering your thoughts. I would
appreciate, however, if you allowed Steve to respond on behalf of Symantec.
I do not agree with your conclusions or interpretation of matters, but more
importantly, the questions are for Symantec. #2 absolutely applies as a
principle.
