Ideally OS/Browser vendors would drop compromised CAs. That happened with DigiNotar. It's not always an option though — the three largest CAs have a 83.97%[0] market share. Dropping any one of them breaks the internet.
Unfortunately a lot of people seem hell bent on destroying rather than improving on top of it.
