Several times now, multiple people have pointed out the discussions related to this that happened prior to, during, and following the introduction of this requirement. Your choice to ignore or deny such evidence is extremely counter-productive. > If you're going to impose a > specific interpretation on them then get it added to the BRs at a future > date > and enforce it then, don't retroactively punish CAs for something that > didn't > exist until a week or two ago. This framing is factually and materially false. There is no retroactive punishment occurring, just as the guidance was long-existing. I don't see there being any opportunity to productively engage, given the good-faith effort to correct your misunderstanding, which you still persist in advocating. Similarly, I do not think it at all helpful that you continue to ignore the objectives and goals of the incident response process, the value and importance it serves the community, and the expectations of the CAs. Perhaps there's an argument to be made that we should litigate what "the" means. It would be a fantastic spectacle, but it would be both thoroughly unproductive and fail to achieve any of the goals or objectives of a healthy Web PKI. Such exercises can and should be conducted elsewhere, while the rest of us try to make progress on improving how CAs respond to incidents caused by behaviours long-documented as incompatible with the requirements. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
