Yes, but some of the CAs were emphatic that they would not revoke the
certs unless their customers requested them to do so.  As I understand it,
basically they said that their agreement with their customer did not allow
them to revoke the cert without the customer's permission, unless they were
presented with evidence of an actual attack/compromise of the site whose
cert was affected.  I did not like that position, but they were adamant.
