No, it's an economical problem and OpenCA should be used by normal
companies too. Online-CA vs. offline-CA is not only a question of
security it's a question of rentability too. Onlne-CAs are often much
more cheaper (TCO) because nobody must move physically to the CA.

Several systems give the RA Operator the rights to handle the hole
issuing process by himself (see Baltimore and Entrust which have ITSec
E3 and Common Criteria EAL3).
