The public comment period ended last week, but we had some additional 
discussions around various Comodo-related issues, most notably the 
wildcard DV cert issue and the long-lived DV cert issue. Although I 
acknowledge that there were/are valid concerns associated with those 
issues, in the end I made a judgment call that they didn't rise to a 
level that would justify my rejecting Comodo's request or delaying 
approval. I've therefore given my final approval to this request and 
filed bugs 426568 and 426572 against NSS and PSM respectively:
