How can you use the same signer when the signer's keys are lost?
Or, if the signer's keys are compromised, how do you switch to a non-compromised signer without alarms triggering?
The problem is almost exactly the same as one with a delegated CA -- if the CA keys are compromised, you have to re-issue all certs. When the client pins the CA key then the chain of trust is permanently broken.
