Comment (by hinder):

 We need to evaluate the end-to-end consequences of what we do, rather than
 applying a narrow definition of who is right and who is wrong.  If some
 very popular OS has an old list of trusted root certificates, and we
 require a new one, then we are broken on that OS, and it doesn't really
 matter whose fault it is.  When you buy an SSL certificate, does it come
 with some indication of the number of widely-deployed systems which it
 will work with?  If you buy a cheaper certificate, will it work with fewer
 systems?  I'm wondering if there is a financial aspect to this.
