For low-resource IoT devices (cameras, sensors, some car uses, etc.), DOS attacks are possible, and unredacted CT logs may help the DOS attacker.
IoT devices (cameras, sensors, some car uses, etc.), can be proxies for DOS attacks. Unredacted CT logs may help the DOS attacker to contract botnet for DOS attack.

* Manufacturers using IoT certificates won't want to show the number of devices they have shipped, and redaction may help keep this information private.

domain label name redaction do not work fine with above problem, but some other redaction mechanisms (i.e. use of name-constrainted intermediate,  single entry for STAR certificate) should work.

**As a one of "redaction mechanism", this mechanism was removed from RFC6962-bis with “domain label name-redaction”. Currently, there is not any specification for this mechanism.
