Re: Distrusting New WoSign and StartCom Certificates -- Mozilla Security Blog

I see that Google's response (and Apple's) is harsher than Mozilla, by 
caterogically distrusts WoSign and StartCom without granting the option, as 
Mozilla does, to resubmit a new CA application after a set period of time 
through which they work to correct their flawed procedures.
