Ouch! But really what did the CA/Browser Forum expect? If confusion wasn't the obvious answer, well, with all due respect, seems like their project was led by sales. And worse, fracturing this whole concept of trust in the "padlock" (re: what have these trusted 3rd party Certificate Authorities been doing all this time? Issuing junk?)
Can we call it just what it is? A desperate search for a new revenue stream
I truly hope this is another early nail in this abomination's coffin.
