Symantec is already getting distrusted and the Web PKI community has decided on a plan that minimizes user impact while doing that. It's very doubtful that a company as incompetent as Trustico has the expertise to come up with a more well-informed decision or a better approach. Certainly attempting to get 50,000 certificates revoked immediately without doing any work to reissue those certificates prior to that is a terrible approach.
Considering the fact that they recently switched to a new CA partner, a more likely explanation is that this was a misguided attempt to somehow keep their existing business rather than let DigiCert pick them up somehow. Obviously it failed in a spectacular fashion.
