Certificate Authority Question

Hello,
Based on some of the post I have seen, I would like to ask how many people
and organisations have removed untrusted CAs from their browsers. This is
not trusted by the browser, but ones you can yourself have some confidence
in?

There are several MD2 and MD5 root certs within IE. How many people have
deleted these from their browser?

How many people on the list allow all default root CAs as trusted? How many
have even thought about the consequences of leaving CNNIC and the Government
CA's from South America as trusted?

I would be interested to know as this is a security list. What occurs here
should be more secure than for the average person.
 
Regards,
