So is getting a subset of revoked certs Google deems "valuable." In fact, that may be even more dangerous since it establishes first class secure sites vs everyone else.

Why should Yahoo's cert revocatins get in the CRLsets but not less well known sites? How is that less broken than online revocation?

Keep in mind, my big objection is:

Google did not distribute our certificate vocation in their CRLSet, presumably because we weren't large enough. That is not a fix for anything.
