As others have said, you can customize FreeBSD how you want.. There
is no, we will uninstall FreeBSD if you uninstall (or set WITHOUT_xxx)
on your FreeBSD system...


So we agree that customization is required, the question is what a user has to do to effect this customization:

1. install a package (possibly included on the install media), or
2. set WITHOUT_MOZILLA_CA_BUNDLE and rebuild FreeBSD.

To me, the approach that doesn't require "rebuild FreeBSD" is the simpler one.

It also doesn't require a Security Advisory every time a CA gets dropped from Mozilla's bundle (which ought to happen a lot). Ports get updated, people get that. I don't think we should introduce things in the base system that we *know* will require SAs, freebsd-update, etc.
