>Subject: [PATCH] libfetch: don't rely on ca_root_nss for certificate
> validation
>
>Before caroot and certctl(8) there was no system truststore and libfetch used
>the CA certificate bundle from ca_root_nss to verify peers, but with the
>emerge of caroot this is not necessary anymore and we can rely on
>OpenSSL using its default system truststore generated by certctl(8).
>
>Worse than that, it causes issues when:
>* you need to explicitly block a CA certificate,
>* need to add custom enterprise CA certificates,
>* supply certificate revocation files,
>
>but you cannot do any of that.
>
>Now, unless explicitly overridden libfetch will request OpenSSL to use the
>default system truststore.
