Also, does Mozilla want to go on record as tolerating spam?
The problem with this argument is that it could be applied to a good many more things than spam. This is especially true with respect to government CAs, since governments can and do engage in activities which a great many people strenuously object to (including me in many cases). Suppose we include a root for government X, which then proceeds to do controversial thing Y. Then one could easily ask "does Mozilla want to go on record as tolerating Y?" where Y in some cases might be far more serious than sending out spam.
My philosophy is that our "regulation" of CAs should focus on those things that are most directly relevant to their activities as CAs, and that we should not use the Mozilla CA policy as a mechanism to try to punish CAs for other activities they might engage in. If you and others disagree with that philosophy then you all are free to try to convince the appropriate people
