Ah, the many meanings of free ;) I suppose it wasn't clear that I was
talking more about freedom than beer there :)

I wouldn't put Google in that list - none of Google's CA/B Forum
participants participate in HotSpot 2.0 nor communicate developments on
either side of that profile to the other party. I would suggest, to date,
only DigiCert does, and only to the extent you've shared anything to the
Forum.

Obviously, the context was that we shouldn't be introducing this to the Web
PKI unless we're sure we're not going to repeat all the same mistakes we're
currently going through the SHA-1 exception process - or at least trying to
learn from them. It would be foolish to ignore the feedback we've received
from those affected by SHA-1 when considering expanding that scope.
