Dimitris,
Github says you want to "merge 6 commits into master from ClarifyCADefinition2".  Shouldn't it be the other way around?

For certificates issued on or after August 1, 2018, this method SHALL NOT be used for validation, and completed validations using this method SHALL NOT be used for the issuance of certificates.
