Your average person probably picks their CA because it's part of their hosting company, who probably resells someone else's CA largely because they're cheap.
You'd be punishing a lot of people because they don't know better for something that really should be built into dns and http.
- x1798DE 12y agoThis just moves the problem down one level and doesn't change anything. If you're a host you only have an incentive to choose a trustworthy CA if by choosing a lesser CA you're risking a significant problems for their users (who will switch hosts when they have a really bad experience and suddenly can't take credit cards anymore).
