I recently had a look into HPKP and appart from the fact
that it's http-only I really like it.

And - it's already usable today. It will protect your chrome users and
firefox has announced at least plans to implement.
Given that and the well known problems of the CA system I was quite
surprised that a good solution exists and nobody uses this.

In case anyone's interested, I recently created a script to help
creating the headers required for hpkp.
