What we have done is to roll out the red carpet and made it possible for you to do that. - The only thing you need to do now is to define a "white-list" extension. To put it simply. Given how OCSP is designed, the only way to allow "good" to represent a white-list, is if "revoked" can be returned for everything else. Everything else in this context means every other revoked or non-issued certificate serial number under that CA. With RFC 2560 that is not possible in a clean way. With this new extension in RFC 2560bis, it is now possible.
