I was merely suggesting that whatever view Thayer (not you) has on these two points was missing from the blog post. Nothing more, nothing less. The first point is yet another reason why Mozilla provides it's own root store rather than relying on the OS one (the main theme of Thayer's blog post). The second point is something closely related that has no rationale in the FAQ, only a description of the situation. The blog post actually mentions that those downstreams exist, so it would be relevant to mention any policy on this. And I would highly appreciate if you stopped with your incessant bullying and trolling (and not just of me), which has been going on for years now.
