Actually this is very good decision. Many users just don't read what's
written on every popup. They press YES YES YES.

And why on earth people use a certificate if it is expired? (or self
signed)? It can be very easily compromised and by accepting such
certificate you NEVER know if it comes from your server of from 3rd
person in between.
