I think we really want that, yes. CACert is to certificates what
Free Software is to software. CACert has higher standards and better
transparency than most commercial CAs, so it should be pervasively
supported, at *least* by "100% Free operating system" Debian
GNU/Linux.

Mike Hommey pointed me to

the fastest way to get CAcert's cert in for lenny
