Yeah, there's nothing that says "this file is for OpenSSL's internal use
only".  I know I've written code that references it.  It's /etc/pki/tls,
not /etc/openssl-private-nobody-else-use; it gives all appearances of
being a shared file.

Also, there's not a way to test this (e.g. remove the cert.pem symlink
and see what breaks); the change says the speed-up is to use the
directory-hash format by default... but there's no hashes in
/etc/pki/tls/certs.  Something needs to be managing those hashes
(creating, updating, deleting stale) BEFORE the bundle can be
deprecated.

If the hashes directory (once populated) is also going to be considered
OpenSSL-only, it should be moved out from under /etc/pki/tls into a
directory that is obviously OpenSSL-only.
