Not only is it a year without revenue... I imagine this will devastate their revenues in future years as existing customers up for renewal during that time will likely permanently migrate to another CA.
- tptacek 10y agoIt looks like Mozilla and Google have created a set of circumstances where the rational next step would be to wind down WoSign/Startcom and just start a new company.

That's a multi-year process, unless they can get another CA to cross-sign their root, like LE did. I doubt other CAs will be willing to carry that level of risk given the reputation of WoSign/StartCom.
