To use the nightclub example, I'd like to be the owner and set policy. If I want to install my own key reader on the side-door so management has a quick entrance, that's my prerogative. If I want to say "screw it" and leave a window unlocked, that's my prerogative. If I want one entrance with hardcore security, I could do that, too. I don't want it to be that Microsoft is the only one who can define policy. I don't like the idea of being forced into Microsoft Computing Fascism -- in some countries this stuff is a hair away from being law and that would make it Fascism.
Your last sentence nailed it.
"And why there are more organizations creating certificates than we care to trust."
That's the problem. It seems like we're about to be forced into trusting them even if we roll our own distribution. We can't create our own certificates to trust ourselves.
