[Explicitly adding Terry…]

Tim:

Hi!

As I think you understand from the response below, there are two parts to 
consider when deploying: what can be done, and what will be done.  Interpreting 
what Ben and Terry wrote…what I think they are asking is for you to clarify in 
this document the considerations around mixing policies.  For example (to 
borrow from Terry), if a “TA has a particular OID and down the tree an issued 
certificate has a different OID”, what are the implications/problems/etc.?

Note that this question is different from the document defining how things may 
end up being deployed later (“whether this is an acceptable deployment model”). 
 The actual deployment discussions (as in, this is what we’re going to do and 
when) should happen in sidrops.

Thanks!

Alvaro.

First of all it was my understanding that there was an agreement with the AD 
that actual deployment should be discussed in sidrops. So this document serves 
as a benchmark to describe the alternative algorithm. In my opinion a mix is 
supported by this document, but the choice whether this is an acceptable 
deployment model can be discussed later.
