--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Underwood <jonathan.underwood@xxxxxxxxx> ---
OK, first question. This package ships some CA certs under /usr/lib/python...
Fedora has a goal of sharing CAcerts system wide, and an application or library
bundling its own cacerts is potentially a security problem. Unfortunately there
aren't any packaging guidelines about this as far as I can see. Here are some
useful links:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SharedSystemCertificates

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-January/193617.html

So, my questions are:

1) Why isn't this package using the system wide cacert bundle?

2) If there's a good answer to (1), why aren't the certs stored under
/etc/pki/python-certifi or somesuch application directory?

I'm cc'ing Stef on this bug in the hope he might offer some guidance here
(Kai's email address no longer seems valid).
