It has huge implications on the scale and operations, particularly when considering how rollovers and other such changes are effectuated.  Also, decoupling these entirely from validating certificates means I've got two mechanisms now for on-boarding [just] these things.  I'd prefer not to leave this to "magic happens" given that it's foundational to pretty much everything else that's being built.

I'd be interested in lining out the longer-term deliverables for the group on the list..
