The article says Chrome 56 will distrust WoSign and StartCom. According to the release schedule I found, that will be January 31, 2017 http://www.chromium.org/developers/calendar
The canary I'm running calls itself "Version 56.0.2906.0 canary (64-bit)"
well that is only the estimated stable time. on november 17th you basially have access to it. but they not mark it stable.
could be earlier if it doesn't contain many new features. I mean a two month period between development branch and stable looks like a really long time for most software.
So much for the possibility of WoSign coming back from this.
It sounds like they are doing something a little different from Mozilla and possibly using a whitelist of known domains.
