I know this thread is over, but it's important to understand that it's the browsers who have all the power in CABF and they were the drivers behind this change. Apple proposed it and Google voted yes within minutes of the voting period opening. It was unanimous among CAs too (with 5 abstentions), and nobody really disagrees with it, but it was the browsers who started the initiative now.
