Comment 1

[Steven Medin]

I confirm no Thunderbird/NSS impact if the Equifax roots are removed.  

We are double checking the PCAs, but our root strategy has been operating with the currently audited G3 generation for enough time that we don't expect database scan results that will show email client failure due to removal of the three PCAs either.  I will follow up to confirm.

I confirm that these six roots may be removed.
