Yes, these incident reports are not, IMO, in compliance with Mozilla’s
policies.

While the existence of the delayed revocation protocol might make delayed
revocation seem more acceptable, I think that it currently serves a useful
purpose (or could, if complied with in good faith) in helping other CAs
identify scenarios that they should prepare for themselves, and can shine
light on cases where the CA is misaligned with the purpose and requirements
of the Mozilla root program. Imagine how much harder people would have to
fight to get useful information about a failure to revoke on time, if there
wasn’t that set of Mozilla expectations to start from…
