I'm really concerned about this.  S/MIME and PGP are the only
(popular) ways to do encryption over email.  The encryption part
is probably not the most impotant part of it, but the
authentication of the sender is.

As far as I know email is still very important to many people, I
don't see that going away in the near future.  Doing S/MIME or PGP
might be complicted to set up, but at least some people are trying
to improve the user experience.  Removing the email trust bit
seems like a step in the wrong direction.

I really do not want to start an other root store.
