I'm halfway through the article so far, but I didn't perceive the message as complaining about PKI being "too complex". The author outlines the fact that some aspects of PKI or certificate design are basically remnants of the past that don't make much sense in reality nowadays (e.g. encoding locality, state, and country). The author in fact complains about over-complication and ambiguity of various cert formats, but his claims are not without some merit here.

my comment was in agreement and support for the article and not a critic of it. the article was pretty awesome! I should have made that clearer in my comment, apologies for that.
