Thinking about it, we are lucky Debian moved to Gandi instead of StartCom when they ditched the SPI CA.

Gandi's been a long-time supporter of Debian[1], providing preferred pricing (their best "bulk rates") for years. I assume the CA migration was also donated.
I'm personally quite glad the SPI CA is gone, and that we removed CACert[2][3]; stopped a lot of "works on my machine" confusion, and made the project more welcoming to people not already running a Debian derivative.
