Despite revoked CA's, StartCom and WoSign continue to sell certificates

I recently mentioned that most major browsers are blocking certificates from StartCom and WoSign entirely or plan to do so in the future. However, it seems that these certificate authorities still sell certificates. Don’t buy from them, their certificates will be useless by next month.
