It is workable. This gets brought up every time we have an issue like this. The problem is that existing CA's keep fucking up. But the system is clearly working: bad CA's get excluded.

I think the likely result here is more widespread adoption of LE. The point is that CA's shouldn't be businesses.

Mostly agreed... for the most part, EV certs are meaningless to most people. Wether it's LE, or otherwise.
