What's there to lol about? Several companies have used Symantec certs because there was no indication that Symantec was handling them poorly (until they fucked it all up) or that Google would drop them.

I have a few servers for which I picked up Geotrust (RapidSSL) certs because they were dirt cheap, € 45 for 3 years. I'm getting free replacement certs for the remaining term left on the original certificates, though of course getting the new certs requires a bit of work.

I checked the list and a few domains had already replaced the certs and some had actually an earlier expiration date, but on the other hand that list only had domain (wildcard?) certs and certs for www servers and there will be plenty of subdomains and single servers with certs that are going to cause problems. Not to mention vpn/mail and other servers or appliances with certificates...!
