That's the great part about this, Rob, you don't actually have to revoke
anything.‎

Peter, thanks for sharing your interpretation. What concerns me is that the same interpretation is not shared by everyone.

I don't really care whether or not these certs need to be revoked by the end of 2013. What I am concerned about is the possibility that CAs might be reprimanded because they failed to follow an unwritten rule!

The certs will just stop working at some point.

I'm being somewhat facetious but ‎that's really the bottom line. Perhaps
we should not use the word revocation here because in a strict technical
sense that's not what will happen and nor is revocation really necessary.
