It depends - do you view resellers as the user's delegated agent - that is,
much like one might contract out IT services or janitorial services - or do
you view them as the CA's agent - outsourced marketing and technical
support?

Answering this question seems key to understanding what, if any, meaningful
reforms can be offered. And I would not look to the discounts offered
resellers as a way of arguing that they are the CA's agent, since CA's
regularly offer discounts to customers who purchase in bulk.
