Any CA can choose to apply these requirements now. For some of them, it's
easy, since they never produced such certificates.
Such certificates were listed in "Problematic practices" in the Mozilla CA
Policy, but tolerated. Kind of a grey zone.

The delay until 2016 is a compromise so all implied actors can find a
different solution for their own problems.
