Treading carefully… 

 

Mozilla is the only browser related to the discussion. Probably sufficient to 
say that the revocation/no-revoke decision is entirely dependent on the results 
of this thread.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to state this publicly. Has Microsoft giving you 
the go ahead?

I disagree that we won't get that. I think we could see a "it's okay to wait
until April 30 for large pharmacy" or "Waiting until April 30 is too long
but March 1 is okay". I don't think Mozilla wants outages either. But... if
Mozilla did say that we should revoke now, that would be great as well. I'd
have a firm answer I can go back with. No risk, but no exception. 

Well except moral risk of course....

Given that Mozilla wants CAs to abide by its policies, which include
adherence to the BRs, and you appear to be saying that you'll adhere to the
BRs if you're threatened with distrust... I'd say the logical response from
Mozilla would be to threaten distrust.  I doubt, especially now, that you'll
get a categorical advance "it's OK to not revoke" from Mozilla.
