Well, just a couple of notes:
1/ Disable completely != remove particular vendor(s)
2/ When I last tried, they get re-added back on updates, I have no time for such stupidity
3/ The way I would like to use it is exactly opposite to they way it is programmed (i.e., empty by default, I add whatever I trust). Again, this wasn’t possible last time I tried.
4/ Not checking anything and adding any vendor there just because they’ve paid $$$ to Melih for certificate is outright retarded. They have added some many “trusted” vendors that the only option would be to wipe the list and start from scratch, whitelisting only reputable well established vendors after quite a bit of checking. Not gonna happen I’m afraid, since the situation looks like this:
less popups marketing + $$$$ for certificates >> actual concern about users' security.
5/ Have they stopped storing just about everything in registry, causing Windows to halt for a couple of minutes when rewriting the tens of megs registry blob whenever you change some rules after couple weeks of usage? I guess not.
Sorry, not seeing myself going back to CIS anytime soon.
