Hi Phillip, Ted,

Actually as has been demonstrated repeatedly, the EFF has been
deceptive bordering on outright dishonesty about the 600 CAs. Over
300 of what they identified as separate CAs are all run by a single
organization that hands out certs to educational institutions in
Germany. There is only one CA with separate intermediate certs for
each institution. At least 200 of the other certificates they
identify as 'CAs' have a similar origin.
I don't have any material interest in the EFF or any CA.
I did a quick check and I found 165 CAs. I didn't look into the
details of the number of CAs linked to a single organization.
