Re: new certificate stuff



I'm trying to make sure this will provide a seamless fresh install and
upgrade path so that if you were already managing /etc/openssl/certs,
it stays that way, but if you weren't, certctl(8) takes over and makes
the Mozilla trust anchors available.  And I'd like to get this into 10
ASAP.

Sounds good.  Just one last question:

If I migrate to this new world order (ie, I delete existing package
and clean out the /etc/openssl/certs directory), what happens to any
packages that currently depend on mozilla-rootcerts?  Will they
somehow magically not need to install the mozilla-rootcerts package?
