I'm a little surprised to read this.  This SHA-1 "private" hierarchy
is not new news and has been discussed in various forums over the year
or 18 months. At least one other CA operator has a similar hierarchy
that is chained back to a root formerly in the Mozilla trust store.

I was under the impression Mozilla knew about this from the SHA-1
exceptions discussions, as one of the topics there has been "why can't
they use the SHA-1 certs from the pulled roots?"

Thanks,
Peter
