I think we should divide code-signing and email here. I can see how one
might make an argument that using Mozilla's list for code-signing is not
a good idea; a vendor trusting code-signing certs on their platform
should choose which CAs they trust themselves.

But if there is no widely-trusted set of email roots, what will that do
for S/MIME interoperability?

This kind of language, while it does follow the rule of criticising
ideas rather than people, is not particularly constructive.
