I think there is a big difference between putting the private key there and proxying validation for just a www.php.net CN alias. We already have a list of known mirrors, so we would make sure to only validate www.php.net for those. By validating www.php.net we allow any mirror to pretend they are www.php.net and no other *.php.net domain, which is exactly what we want. -Rasmus
