We have at least another such example of a merger - BlueCoat + Symantec, with BlueCoat's CEO becoming Symantec's CEO. And now Symantec's certificate business is gone because it couldn't be trusted.

The article also seems to imply that Comodo is selling its CA business "because of what happened between Google and Symantec." They seem to try to spin it as an opportunity for Francisco Partners, but I wonder why Comodo was suddenly interested in selling its CA business - is it because their infrastructure was just as shake and insecure as Symantec's? Certainly something to think about.
