That's why I sent the feedback to the list - so TC members have an opportunity to consider the topic and respond to the list prior to the call ... or discuss on the call.

The public key may or may not be present as a managed object so it cannot be relied on being present.

If we want to support the concept of operations like locate-all-certificates-that-use-2048-bit-public-keys (not an unreasonable request to expect to be able to perform) then the information needs to be represented directly as an attribute on the Certificate managed object.
