My concern is based on a small sample size, but in reviewing CPS' I've
noted that government CAs often rely on 3.2.2.4.1. Other than Dimitris,
they are not participating in this discussion and may not be aware of it.
That isn't a good excuse to delay needed fixes, but I do think that the
outright elimination of method #1 on Mar 1st will catch a number of these
CAs by surprise and we'll see compliance issues. The approach that Ryan and
Dimitris are discussing helps to address my concern.

Thanks,

Wayne
