That's a fair point, and something I am slowly working on fixing. The
new CCADB policy will clean up some of this.

Fair point.

To be more precise: the current requirement is anchored in the
sentence(s) in the policy which request disclosure of company ownership
changes. A total lack of disclosure would be treated seriously. A
disclosure which didn't meet Kathleen's document exactly would be
treated less so.

I agree that having multiple "severities" of policy is not ideal. My
current roadmap, FWIW, is:

* Finish policy 2.4 (ideally by the end of this month)
* Help Kathleen with a CA Communication about it and other current matters
* Reorganise 2.4; issue 2.4.1 with no material changes
* Think about 2.5, which might include this improvement.

I have filed:
https://github.com/mozilla/pkipolicy/issues/57
about cleaning up this document.
