It's worth pointing out that, whether you think it's fair or not, it's 
undeniably a reality that we would have far fewer worries about removing 
a root which supported 50 certs on the public web than one which 
supported 500,000. And it's also worth noting that most of the roots in 
the store are closer to the former category.
