Hi, Hmm...
I've had the same issue. Basically it came down to "how do you know if the sub is reliable if you do not know whether to trust the root?" If you do not wish to have the root as part of the chain, create a new chain where the sub is the root What is the reason you do not want to use the root in the chain check, but it should be part of the chain?
