Hi Nick,

Good question. Mozilla is currently strongly encouraging CAs to use the CAB
Forum EV OID, but not requiring it. I would be interested to hear arguments
for or against requiring the use of the CAB Forum EV OID in future Mozilla
root store updates. Requiring this might eventually solve some of the
problems we're seeing when roots are acquired or cross-signed [1]. To be
clear, at this time I'm only thinking about new inclusions or EV
enablement, not changing OIDs for existing EV capable roots.
