That still doesn't necessarily answer the question, Google have their CRLSets
but they're more ineffective than effective in dealing with revocations
(according to GRC, they're 98% ineffective,
https://www.grc.com/revocation/crlsets.htm).  Given how hard it is to
determine whether cross-certifications exist (we really have no way of telling
until a cross-certificate suddenly turns up somewhere), it'd be good to have
some firm indication of whether a revocation will actually take effect or not.
Certainly for CRLSets it seems it won't.
