The topic is how mozilla foundation chooses CAs for mozilla products.
It is not any of the following:
self-signed certs instead of CAs
use of encryption without any authentication
use of protocols not now in mozilla (e.g. PGP)
governmetal politics (any government)mozilla products implement 3 applications of PKI-based security: a) SSL (for http, smtp, pop3, imap, nntp, and maybe ldap) b) S/MIME c) code signing.
This newsgroup exists to discuss topics relevant to those applications and implementations, not alternative applications, not some PKI-free parallel universe, not PGP, etc.
I am not going to waste any more time participating in discussions of those topics which are irrelevant to mozilla and irrelevant to the issues now facing mozilla.
I invite others to join me in simply refusing to reply to such attempts to take this group off topic. Treat attempts to do so as trolling.
