> Alternatively should the certificate transparency log rules be changed to not include the subdomain? Maybe what matters is that you know that a certificate has been issued for a domain, when, and that you have a fingerprint to blacklist or revoke. Knowing which actual subdomain a certificate is for is very convenient, but is it proportionate?

That was a big debate in the CA/B Forum when CT was created; the current behavior is a deliberate choice on the part of the browser developers, which they will probably not want to revisit.
