No, the problem is getting your root CA certificate included in the browsers.
Manual CA cert installation into each browser doesn't cut it when you're
trying to persuade a business to use one of your server certs.

Liability is a cost issue - you simply negotiate and buy insurance for it.

So when is OpenCA going to bite these particular two bullets?
