Why are the intermediates, and not the root cert, being revoked?
The intermediates seem to be difficult in that the root stores don't seem to have a mechanism for it (… kinda seems like an oversight, at this 20:20 vision point?). If eight of the CA's intermediates are hosed … how many are still "good", and are they good good, or are we just fooling ourselves?
I guess the other question I have is just how many intermediates does this one CA have? They've had 8 compromised thus far; that's not the entire lot of them?
You know the old saying: if you find 8 cockroaches in your house, then a realistic estimate for the total number of cockroaches in your house is exactly 8.
