Chrome recently disabled CN support and only uses SAN. The Baseline
Requirements require certificates to have a SAN value and calls CN
deprecated [1].

Thus at least within the WebPKI:
1. If someone uses certificates with a CN and no SAN then they won't
work in the most popular browser.
2. They violate the rules and should be revoked anyway.
