Certificates are barely checked in SMTP at all (opportunistic
and at that), but to the extent that they are, I am not aware
of anyone who's got meaningful certificates that only have a
matching CN and no matching SAN.

It is fine to deprecate the requirement to support CNs in the
absence of a DNS-ID SAN also for SMTP (not just Web).  Long
overdue.
