I'm not really sure I understand this response at all. I'm hoping you can
clarify.

I'm not sure I understand how this flows. Comply with whose demands? Face
retribution from who, and why?

I'm not sure I understand the question at the end, and suspect there's a
point to the question I'm missing.

Presumably, a CA stating they're going to violate the BR requirements,
knowing the risk to trust that it may pose, would have done everything
possible to gather every piece of information so that they could assess the
risk of violation is outweighed by whatever other risks (in this case,
revocation). If that's the case, is it unreasonable to ask how the CA
determined that - which is the root cause analysis question? And how to
mitigate whatever other risk (in this case, revocation) poses going
forward, so that violating the BRs isn't consistently seen as the "best"
option?
