I'm not familiar with Unix/Linux, but on Windows, if it's anything

consistent experience by default.

The problem with a "slightly outdated" CA store is that it can be a
security risk.

Tracking the Mozilla store isn't difficult. New additions can be ignored for currently released Pythons so we'd just need to watch them for blacklisting certs and roll that into a security update.
