The public comment period ended last week, but we had some additional 
discussions around various Comodo-related issues, most notably the 
wildcard DV cert issue and the long-lived DV cert issue. Although I 
acknowledge that there were/are valid concerns associated with those 
issues, in the end I made a judgment call that they didn't rise to a 
level that would justify my rejecting Comodo's request or delaying 
approval. I've therefore given my final approval to this request and 
filed bugs 426575 against PSM:
