(In reply to Sergey Akhmatov from comment #2)

I wouldn't say anyone is strictly against anything, particularly since this is
a specific (third-party ecosystem) case without an obvious policy/guideline. 

Having said that, not being against something doesn't automatically or
necessarily mean being pro/for position a change either.

For what it's worth, it's good to have references to other OS's making similar
changes.

I think this ultimately boils down to the distinction you make in your 'main
point', which I understand and agree with.

It's one thing to want to extend a provided trust store (1), its another
entirely to switch out a specific set with another set ((2), what is proposed
here).

Also, if I understand correctly, switching certifi's store out for that
provided by security/ca_root_nss, would be the first step to getting the
desired feature of local extensions to that store, via bug 160387. I don't
think doing (2), in order to achieve (1) is the right approach.

While I understand the value of the feature being described, I also believe
that with the above context, the most important thing here is still
user-expectation, and principle of least astonishment. Users/developers
installing certifi would expect to get the certs/store/trust model the
documentation of certifi stipulates, unless options provided (officially) by
that package allowed otherwise.

I would still recommend making the case for the added value of the
"extend-certifi-store" feature to upstream.
