If whether browsers can consume certificate status information in a timely
manner is out of the scope of this RFC, I would think that whether
"approach the CA" is sufficient recourse for a misissued redacted
pre-certificate would also be out of scope for this RFC.

Two inconsistencies here:

* "network renaming", massive or not, would only be required for
redesigning their DNS hierarchy for eTLD+2, and would not be required for
use of wildcards.

* If redaction is for your "largest customers", enterprises that large
should be far more likely to have the resources to rename their internal
network names.
