I've initiated a CAB Forum ballot [1] to resolve the inconsistency that Rob
identified.

I also want to acknowledge the feedback from Google on the timing of this.
I can appreciate the framing of this as a new policy that's been added
without due process, but I view this as a clarification of existing
requirements. Some CAs have already been held accountable for this
requirement [2] and some that have been paying close attention adhere to
it. Others were struggling to determine what to do. Under these
circumstances, it made no sense to me to roll back the policy, so the only
reasonable course was to clarify it in favor of the consensus that emerged
from this thread.

I'm still open to making changes to our "required practice" on
precertificates, but having caught up on the thread I don't think any
further changes are necessary.
