[Bug 310999]

While I agree with your sentiment (and don't particularly like the way
this was handled – if the issuance issue was fixed then what's with the
secrecy?), I think the underlying problem is going to require a more
drastic solution than playing whack-a-mole with CAs. The TOR blog post
references a few interesting Internet-Drafts which will hopefully make
some progress in Prague next week but in the mean time we face a
tradeoff between greater availability (and therefore deeper penetration)
of SSL and dodgy certs... I'm not sure what the best solution is (and am
perhaps more concerned about government interference with CAs than
technical issues).
