Package: ca-cacert
Version: 2019.0411-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal
Hi,
CAcert is pretty much made obsolete by LetsEncrypt, and unlike
LetsEncrypt, it has never been part of the Mozilla truststore.
Furthermore, the ca-cacert package has become virtually useless with
the expiry of the shipped intermediate certificate [1], and not even
CAcert seems to bother enough to link the newly generated
certificate from their official website [2].
Therefore, I believe it is time to acknowledge the facts and remove
the package from Debian altogether.
Cheers
Timo
