So we agree that customization is required, the question is what a user
has to do to effect this customization:
1. install a package (possibly included on the install media), or
2. set WITHOUT_MOZILLA_CA_BUNDLE and rebuild FreeBSD.
To me, the approach that doesn't require "rebuild FreeBSD" is the
simpler one.
It also doesn't require a Security Advisory every time a CA gets dropped
from Mozilla's bundle (which ought to happen a lot). Ports get updated,
people get that. I don't think we should introduce things in the base
system that we *know* will require SAs, freebsd-update, etc.
