Follow-up Comment #1, sr #106651 (project administration): Personally, FWIW, I agree with Reed. I'm not overly impressed by "auditing", having been on the other end of ssl auditing in various contexts at various times and it always seemed like a meaningless exercise in paperwork -- but losing private keys is inexcusable.
It's not a money issue. John already bought the cert. Of course I agree that it would be better, in principle, to use certificates from an organization with freedom-respecting policies. But when the only (right?) such org is so slipshod, it seems like the lesser evil to me to use keys from the same org as gnu.org and fsf.org. Obviously rms does not insist on cacert.org, although perhaps he's never been consulted; and perhaps we should ask him.
