- Would like to see them working more with TLD operators here, I'd like to see a CA partner with TLD ops to offer distributed and resilient issuance (especially with shorter cert lifetimes) with intermediate certificates locked to their TLDs, TLD operators are already a significant part of the chain of trust since it's all based on DNS today.
- It makes sense for them to issue their own certificates because it’s inline with the rest of their offerings, but it seems kind of strange you can just buy someone else’s root certificate and issue under their name. It kind of defeats the point of trusting the root. What if a bad actor starting buying up authorities? You could compromise a bunch of services without them even knowing.
