Given that the change doesn't touch section 1.1, it's reasonable to believe
that the scope of the policy is not changing.

My reading of the policy, as amended by this proposal, as well as my
understanding of past discussions in this group, is that certificates
without an EKU are in scope now, and they will continue to be in scope if
this amendment is adopted.  The only change is that end-entity certificates
without an EKU will be considered misissued if the certificate's notBefore
is on or after April 1, 2020.

If you feel that the policy, as amended, does not make this state of affairs
clear, I'm sure Wayne would welcome suggestions for improvement.
