As I read it Symantec is being tone deaf here about the problem. Throwing around numbers like 127 versus 30,000, they seem to be overlooking the fact that trust flows downward from a small handful of root certs, or certs closer to the root, and that if the root cert or certs and processes around them are not trustworthy, then all the subordinate certs are tainted. They aren't helping themselves any with this kind of post, imho.
