Bug description:
Ubuntu is one of the few distributions shipping CAcert as a trusted
certificate. Many distributions are considering[1] whether to remove
CAcert, and Mozilla closed the RFE[2] for CAcert in 2008, which was
opened in 2003.
Concerns were expressed about CAcert's code quality[3], and their
audit appears to be stalled.
In the past, it appears that Ubuntu disabled[4] CAcert, but this is no
longer the case. It may be wise to do so again.
