(In short: forget the whole thing, all is well.)

    I don't appreciate the form of this comment.

Sorry.

    Following your initial inquery at savannah-hackers-public it was shown
    that Reed's issues were inexistant and I have yet to hear any
    supported argument on the matter, that is, fitting our education
    effort a bit more than "off-putting" in the middle of an unrelated
    conversation.

I was not trying to again bring up the question of which CA to use.  I
was only referring to the fact that what new users were seeing is the "I
don't know your root authority" dialog box, or (I guess) something even
worse in firefox3.  I think that was indeed "off-putting".  It occurred
to me because we were talking about ssl, user experiences, and such
already.

However, I just now tried to open https://savannah.gnu.org in the
firefox3 from CentOS, and, it seems that the cacert root is in ff3 after
all!  I was not aware of that.  So -- yay!  Everything seems good.

    You don't have to use SSL in that case, 

I don't understand that.  As far as I can tell, it's not possible to get
an account or register a project without using https.  (Which seems
perfectly fine.)
