I've encountered a wildcard end-entity certificate on a live server that chains 
directly to the root cert. There is no intermediate certificate and the root is 
in the Mozilla trust store.

I assume this is a frowned upon practice that will be stopped as the BRs are 
adopted and such certs expire naturally. There is n‎o reason for such certs to 
be reissued indefinitely, is there?
‎
Beyond this one case I'm wondering if there are any survey data or anecdotes 
about how common a practice this is (was?).

Thanks.
