The middle ground here is DigiCert should have been able and continued with the revocation of all the other certificates not impacted by the TRO within the policies and contractual agreements it has.

The policy and its designers aren't incompetent, the intention is to ensure security first when fact-finding can take time to establish a subset of actual abuse. This is common in IT/Security and is clearly communicated in the policy customers agree to as well as something agreed on by all CA's. Security > Uptime is the baseline, and while you may disagree with that and have good arguments for the contrary, the argument is much wider than us and has been extensively hashed out in the working groups and discussions around this and other similar issues and is implemented this way by consensus while weighing valid arguments for different approaches and pros and cons.
