Please remove the following two root certificates from NSS:

CN = America Online Root Certification Authority 1
O = America Online Inc.
SHA-1 Fingerprint: 39:21:C1:15:C1:5D:0E:CA:5C:CB:5B:C4:F0:7D:21:D8:05:0B:56:6A

SHA-1 Fingerprint: 85:B5:FF:67:9B:0C:79:96:1F:C8:6E:44:22:00:46:13:DB:17:92:84


This was noted in AOL's response to the May CA Communication.

"* Both roots may be removed after Dec 31, 2014"

I am in email contact with the corresponding Program Manager of Team AOL, and she said they are ready for these root certificates to be removed in Firefox 35.
Depends on: 1088147
I confirmed removal of these two root certificates in the test build.

In this comment I'm simply documenting something I've looked up.

I learned these certificates used 2048-bit and 4096-bit keys, so I conclude these removals weren't motivated by phasing out 1024-bit keys.
