It's relevant for a different reason; CA health needs to be monitored, and
multiple CAs can (should) be used in case CA A's recognition gets pulled or a
catastrophe happens. Having certs from CA B then gets you going either
immediately (if you actively use both) or rapidly (if you need to replace certs
on web / services front end). Getting new ones from CA B in a hurry can be a
major deal.
