If only intentions made the world go round. But how we use things, and build upon them, is often rather more interesting than what someone intended. The commercial CAs will be a relic. It's only a matter of time before the whole house of cards collapses. The price pressure has been downwards for years. EV is not meaningful to most end-users, remaining a money-printing scam that provides little assurance of safety (if Enron, or Ashley Madison could get one, what's it worth?), and is vulnerable to MITM and rebinding attacks[1]. I anticipate that Amazon's CA[2] could undermine the profitability - and via desperation, the integrity - of the whole sector even further.
