Version 2.6 of the policy has been reviewed and (with some minor changes to
section 7.3) approved by Mozilla's Legal department. I've set the effective
date to July 1, 2018 and requested publication of the new version.
Meanwhile, it can be found here:
https://github.com/mozilla/pkipolicy/blob/2.6/rootstore/policy.md

I'll be working on a CA Communication and blog post to ensure that everyone
is aware of these changes.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this update.
