As it happens, I will be starting the first public comment period for T-Systems today. If there are no problems with the request then we will be able to approve the inclusion of the T-Systems root certificate in a couple of weeks, and it will show up in a security update release of Firefox later this year. (I can't give you an exact estimate because it depends on NSS and Firefox development schedules.) > So please act now and quicken the pace on CA inclusion! We are doing what we can. However by design we do not simply "rubber-stamp" CA requests. We have an official policy which was developed through a process of community consultation, and we follow a similar process of community discussion when considering CAs. We do have more people now working on CA-related tasks (unlike previously when I was the only person, and could do it only part-time). However the process will never be quick IMO.
