Don't sell your namesake domain short! Sure, the Google domains are subject to 
different types of attacks than ‎most others but any domain with a cert has 
value. For example, I'd be happy to use gerv.net as a landing page for my spam 
campaign or as a phishing site or, even better, as a host for malware in my 
malvertising activities. 

All I'm saying is that revocation is valuable for everyone in all sorts of ways.

That statistic assumes that all revocations are equal, which is clearly
not true. A revoked cert for www.google.com is orders of magnitude more
important to Chrome users than one for www.gerv.net.
