Oh I know that it's widespread, it happened here; the guy who's job it was to care left and didn't pass on knowledge when he did. It is because there was a a role account assigned to comms about TLS certs that the notices were, well, noticed. I've worked in large orgs where comms are even worse.

But my point was that this is not some reckless sudden move by the browsers or DigiCert. In my observation, they have been earnestly and diligently working in good faith so people don't get bit by the transition.

Question: with such big news going on for such a long time, how does not even one person -- whether manager or otherwise -- just take 5 seconds to ask if they are prepared for it? It's not like the reporting on this was just in some dark corners of the internet... /some/ people in a given company should have at least heard something was going to happen to Symantec certificates.

Because there are tickets to close before the whistle.
