> My point is that you need a reasonably up-to-date certs bundle to enable verification by default. Actually, you don't. There is no reason why certificate validation cannot be enabled by default without a CA bundle. Yes, verifications will fail by default but this is no different than the cases where someone has an oddball provider or self-signed certificates; they have to manually add the cert for verification to pass. Additionally, given the current certificate climate, I wouldn't trust anything signed by the global CAs. If you're concerned about security, you should be validating the certificate fingerprint and not trusting CAs.
