Right, and it's the CA that should be integrating something like
Ubiquity in order to determine the default chain.  The CLI tool for
Ubiquity supports an option called "ubiquitous", which according to the
documentation generates "a bundle of most widely acceptance across
different browsers and OS platforms."[1]  How often do you think clients
would not want "ubiquitous"?  Enough to make every single client depend
on Ubiquity or a library of similar complexity?
