+
+:mod:`ssl` now rejects TLS certificate chains that contain any of a set of

+and a last line of defense: removing trust is primarily the job of the
+platform root store, and the built-in denylist only blocks connections while
+that update has not yet reached the OS, a container image, or a bundled
+trust store in various Python packages. Entries are added to the denylist
+only under a very high threshold. The denylist matches on the public key
+(the SHA-256 digest of the :rfc:`5280` ``SubjectPublicKeyInfo``), so it also
+covers the cross-signed certificates that reuse one of the distrusted keys.

-:mod:`ssl` now rejects TLS certificate chains that contain any of a set of
-compromised eMudhra intermediate CA keys. This is an extraordinary measure and
-a last line of defense: removing trust is primarily the job of the platform
root
-store, and the built-in denylist only blocks connections while that update has
-not yet reached the OS, a container image, or a bundled trust store in various
-Python packages. Entries are added to the denylist only under a very high
-threshold.
-The denylist matches on the public key (the SHA-256 digest of the :rfc:`5280`
-``SubjectPublicKeyInfo``), so it also covers the cross-signed certificates that
-reuse one of the distrusted keys.
