Did we somehow came to a conclusion / agreed wording here? I'm not sure if I 
missed something, but the last email I've received in regards to this issue is 
from mid of May and the last change in 
https://github.com/mozilla/pkipolicy/blob/master/rootstore/policy.md dates to 
beginning of March. I don't want to make artificial pressure here but want to 
be sure I don't miss something important.


With best regards,
