Bit of a pity this mechanism also pushes towards more centralisation, (IIUC). But on balance, that's not a huge deal, the Mozilla version of this being part of the already-centralised (via browser-makers/root store operators) webpki. Anyway overall I take this as more evidence that x.509-based pki has outlived it's useful lifetime. Given the webpki needs CT (which it totally does) and now maybe novel revocation mechanisms like this, (as well as soon-to-be PQ schemes if we believe what people tell us), I'd argue it may well be time to try see if there's any consensus on a post-x.509 direction towards which to head. Cheers, S.
