Comodo removes free non-www SAN

All previous orders for Comodo Single Domain SSL certificates for www. have secured the base domain (non-www.), until now.
Like the majority of CAs, Comodo gave this for free, by adding it to the SAN.
For example: a previously ordered certificate for www.example.com would also secure example.com as Comodo added this for free to each order.

This has now changed. Instead they will add the www. element to the SAN for an order of the base domain (non-www.)
For example: a new certificate order for example.com will also secure www.example.com as Comodo will now add this for free to each order.

For Comodo Wildcard certificates, the base domain will not be added and therefore cannot be protected with a Wildcard SSL certificate.

Of course, all previously issued SSL certificates will continue to work until re-issue or re-new.
UPDATED July 2017:
Comodo have decided to pause the new updates for the www. and non-www. SAN
Wildcard SSL certificates will still have the base domain included and all Single Domain SSL certificates for www. will secure the non-www. base domain too.
