#252

  • Updated links to point to fpki.idmanagement.gov pages
  • Updated for the closure of the mozilla application
  • minor nit: there are non-USG operated publicly trusted root CAs that still create valid paths in some trust stores to federal pki issued certs. Whether this is desirable or intentional is not addressed.

minor nit:  there are non-USG operated publicly trusted root CAs that still create valid paths in some trust stores to federal pki issued certs.  whether this is desirable or intentional is not addressed.

The Federal PKI has an [open application](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478418) to the Mozilla Trusted Root Program. However, even if the Federal PKI's application is accepted, it will take a significant amount of time for the Federal PKI's root certificate to actually be shipped onto devices and propagate widely around the world.
The Federal PKI and Mozilla have [closed the application](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478418) to include the Federal PKI root in the Mozilla Trusted Root Program.

I think we could actually just delete the paragraph altogether.

@lachellel I removed the Mozilla paragraph altogether, since I don't think we need to acknowledge a closed bug now. Thank you for doing this!
