System admins can add the company CA at the system level in the
system's CA cert store, they have no need for a Python API.


If I understood correctly, since the Python ssl module is unable to load
system CAs (at least on Python 2.7) on Windows and macOS, bundled CAs are
needed (like certfi package).

Actually,
they certainly don't want to modify every Python application to add a
company CA.


Yes.

Hum, maybe a short PEP is needed for Python 2.7 to clarify the indirect
advantages of the backport.
