My opinions:
It's good to restrict government CAs to certain TLDs for reasons below
1. government CA is intented to provide domestic assurance of IDs and services for government's websites.
2. If we assume every government is "evil", we can limit its consequences in the corresponding ccTLD.
3. Make government CA dedicated for their people.
But there's also questions:
1.Policital Problems
Due to the word "country", there MUST be lots of policital problems. In a word, what we should do about ".tw"? (I am Chinese.)
2.Definition about "government CA"
Who can represent the government? NIC could be private (or not? I am not sure).

That issue is not currently targetted for 2.4. In the message titled
"Mozilla Root Store Policy 2.4: goals and process", I said:

Before we discuss this topic, you need to make that case. Otherwise, I
would ask that we not discuss it right now.
