I could see the use-case (enterprise wide list of trusted CAs, and
use of it compiled into an enterprise-distribute openvpn bundle),
but I agree with Steffan that it's not something we need to have in
OpenVPN - "--ca" can reference to a CA bundle today, and enterprise-
distributed config files reference the enterprise-maintained CA bundle,
it will just work without code changes.
My main reason for not liking this is "another compile-time option" -
someone has to maintain and test this, with and without this option,
which adds to our maintenance nightmare. So the gain has to be
significant.
