Bug description:
  Ubuntu is one of the few distributions shipping CAcert as a trusted
  certificate. Many distributions are considering[1] whether to remove
  CAcert, and Mozilla closed the RFE[2] for CAcert in 2008, which was
  opened in 2003.

  Concerns were expressed about CAcert's code quality[3], and their
  audit appears to be stalled.

  In the past, it appears that Ubuntu disabled[4] CAcert, but this is no
  longer the case. It may be wise to do so again.
