Please don't.

Gerv started this discussion so that the Mozilla community could
discuss its position on EV certificates, and so that Gerv could
report that position to the CA/Browser Forum, where browser makers
and CAs discuss these issues.

So far most of the posts in the thread have been by CA
representatives (and Gerv's responses to those posts).  While
occasional comments from CAs may be useful in the thread for
purposes of clarification, I certainly don't welcome such attempts
to dominate the discussion.  Given the existance of the CA/Browser
Forum, I think discussion between CAs and Mozilla is more
appropriate there.

I'd like to see the Mozilla community be able to discuss what is
best for Mozilla's users without having that discussion drowned out
by people who have strong business interests (on one side or the
other) in seeing a particular solution.
