The issues identified really show a dumpster fire: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?o2=greaterthaneq&sh...

Directly from Entrust: "Yes, there has been ongoing internal discussion and reflection on the issues found in this and other incidents, which has led to the action items described previously and ongoing changes, including the decision to revoke the certificates affected by this bug. Exceptional circumstances would need to be provided and justified by the Subscribers. Given the nature of the feedback we have received to date, we doubt that the community has any real interest in anything that Entrust could suggest, except to use against Entrust in a destructive, not constructive, way. We therefore would like more explicit and clear guidelines or a definition of “exceptional circumstances” to be adopted and applied equally to all CAs, perhaps through updates in the CA/B Forum requirements."

A honest translation from the corporate speak would be

We’ve been endlessly talking about our repeated screw-ups, which led us to revoke the affected certificates. If subscribers want an exception, they need to come up with an extraordinary excuse. We don't care, so we demand clear and strict rules about what counts as “exceptional circumstances” that apply to all CAs, and these should be updated in the CA/B Forum requirements. We are big, who are you?
