I think Roman Fischer in the thread has it right, 30 certs is a single drop of water the Atlantic. Like there's no wink wink necessary, at that scale it would be flatly irrational to do anything at all to handle being one of these revocations. We're taking about a roughly 0.00001% chance that it's you. Forget some dumb cert revocation logic I would play Russian Roulette with those odds.

But on the flip side those 30 unlucky souls are gonna be pissed. There's so many other less disruptive ways you could do this.

1 in 100k chance of taking down Amazon for say a day means the expected cost to them would be 140k per year based on their daily revenue. So in fact it's worth them hiring someone full time permanently to handle these revocations...

Responding to revocations can be automated, and mature organizations like Amazon are presumably already doing that because revocations can already happen unexpectedly for reasons outside their control.
