I think it mainly requires a new feature: the ability to say "remember this certificate, but remember the older ones too". That'll help with sites that keep switching between certificates.

The problem with Google only really started when they started using two different roots, which is something they're doing on purpose to prevent API users from hardcoding their original root cert.

Does anyone know if certpatrol is still being developed?
