Quoting Gerv from the latest StartCom thread [1]:
"* The key for their new root certificate was also used in a couple of
intermediates (one revoked as it was done incorrectly - again, lack of
testing!). While this is probably not a policy violation, it's not good
practice."

WRT to the deadlines: If the decision is to sync up, I think it's worth noting
that Firefox probably needs to release 2-3 weeks after a Chrome "release date"
to achieve this in practice.
Why? Firefox updates take ~10days from release date to reach previous version
numbers. Chrome _can_ do it
Inspired by David's message, 2 suggestions for the Symantec plan:
1. Mozilla - and ideally Google as well - should clearly and explicitly
communicate in the official statement on this that the "new" Symantec will
still be strictly monitored even after the current remediation plan has been

Tbh, I'm not really familiar with your salesforce setup, I was just using this
as a stand-in for "place where CA can
After skimming the responses and checking a few CAs, I'm starting to wonder:
Wouldn't it be easier to just add another mandatory field to the CCADB (e.g.
"revocation contact"), requiring $URL or $EMAIL via policy and just use that to
provide a public list?
It seems to me that most revocation

In this context, I was wondering: Has there been a discussion yet on Firefox
enforcing cert lifetime in code not just via policy?
Most everything seems to be in place already due to EV, but DV doesn't have a
limit atm. [0]
