I think you're missing the point.  It is a sad reality that SSL/TLS corporate 
(and ISP) MITM exists and is enforced on a larger scale than we'd like.  But 
it is there, and when mandated/enforced you have to go through the MITM 
appliance, or not connect at all.  Private CA's generally break those 
appliances - an unfortunate FreeBSD user in this situation is cut off.  How is 
this better?
