Useful yes, up to certain extend. If there is too much information in the 
policy, it will start to be problematic.

For whom?

For Mozilla mostly.

Most CAs run businesses where written policies are the norm.

Mozilla is not a CA.


Where did Frank say, or even hint, that?

Discussions here. Feel free to correct me (or even better Frank could get involved a bit more to clarify a few things)


Others disagree. The business model for most CAs are different than yours, it 
sounds like.

This is about the Mozilla CA Policy. It's not about CAs, I know what a CA is, thank you!

This sounds like you want the pulling of a CA to be done informally, outside 
the realm of a formal policy. That's fine, but others may differ.


Feel free to suggest and have it implemented otherwise. I was stating the implemented informal approaches as I know them. It's all within the realm of the formal policy, I did not suggest otherwise. I'm certain you can't point me to anything else which would suggest otherwise either. It's also what I think to be the correct approach. But you are free to differ and propose a different approach (perhaps one which would pull a root overnight without notifying the CA even).
