That isn't the real issue. I am not going to trust OpenCA any more than I
trust Versign or Thawte now. (i.e. if they have their certs in by default,
it just makes more certs for me to remove.)
What really needs to happen is a more sensible way of handling ssl connections.
What Firefox currently does is rediculous.
