It was fully investigated. There's no evidence to suggest relation, other
than there's no way to effectively make rules on that (other than the
threat of revocation for breach of contract, which you can only demonstrate
when you can prove it, which you'd revoke anyways)

While well-intentioned, I don't think this is really a reasonable thing to
ask/expect. If they had contractual requirements on resellers, it just
means you'd have new entities spring up that are equivalent to resellers
without the requirements.

Would we similarly require that hosting providers don't store the private
keys? It's the same conceptual issue.
