Several people have tried to make claims the quotes were taken out of
context and the Verisign in question even issued a "correction" on his
blog, but the fact remains that Versigin was really pushing it's FUD
campaign at the time to push through its new business model as quickly
as possible with as little input from the wider community to limit
criticism from people.

In fact up until the last stages of the process most people were pretty
hush hush about the whole thing, and as Eddy points out only big
commercial entities and browsers were invited and in turn large chunks
of the internet community has been excluded (like sole proprietors,
partnerships etc, and I do believe there was murmurings that
Universities were also excluded under the current policies).

How can this be a good thing if only large enterprises are elligible for
certificates, and if Verisign and MS are so gun hoe to implement EV
without fixing the current discrepancies?
