Here's where it was introduced: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378882 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378882 Interesting comment on that thread: > This CA was singled out as a CA that signed an excessive number of intermediate authorities (252) which together only have issued 4164 certificates in EFFs talk at C3. This is, by far, the highest number, the next contender is GTE Cybertrust with 93.

The bugzilla thread is an interesting read. And to be fair, the issue with the thousands of certificates is explained in it. It appears that the certificate is used to sign DFN, which in turn signs certificates for most German universities. Btw, Video of the 27C3 talk in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjNV4YMvHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjNV4YMvHI

Wow, reading through that bug makes me glad I never have to deal with Mozilla for anything time sensitive.
