What will happen to all the certificates without an EKU that currently
exist, which don't conform to the program requirements?

For what it's worth, I don't object to a requirement for having an explicit
EKU in certificates covered by the program. Like I said, I think every
certificate that is issued should be issued with a clear understanding of
what applications it will be used for, and having an EKU extension does
achieve that.

The thing I am attempting to avoid is the implication that a missing EKU
implies a certificate is not subject to the program's requirements.

Cheers,
Brian
