Please bear in mind the CAs want to be added to the trusted root CA cert store to make business. AFAIK they don't pay for that. So Mozilla's customers are the end users of Firefox etc. not the CAs. > Either way, when you get serious and propose a chance to a criteria or > policy, we have to expect that all will consider the revenues question. It's definitely not Mozilla's task to think about the CAs' business and whether they have revenues when being added to trusted root CA cert store or not!
