Adding Q24/25

24. Your CPS for the Root and Wild CPSs as of 8/31/2018 note in section 4.2.1 
that a certificate issue that did not comply with RFC6844 would be 
automatically blocked. Your note in the first post says that "our new practices 
that automatically block any certificate request for which the DNS CAA record 
controls induce that the CA is not allowed to issue, without possible bypass by 
the RA". Was this blocking process not fully automated as described prior 
(going off of Q23 from Jakob)? 

25. What exactly prompted the manual override for CAA Checking? A request from 
the origin certificate requestor, the RA on their own...
