Comment:

 Changing severity to reflect the impact that having BlueCoat as a trusted
 intermediary would have on end-users.  It would not surprise me if
 BlueCoat's move were a way to quietly support one of the many countries
 experimenting with national SSL/TLS certificates.  It's an excellent way
 to silently mitm, I'll give them that much.
