Looked at that link, my two pence worth...

In the past I've set up internal web-servers and mail-servers, amongst
other things, and found managing certificates to be a right pain.

The locations and paths they expected to find things, and the cert
creating documentation describing how to create them, and on-line help,
 disagreed with each other.  And the convoluted, yet slightly
different, filepaths and filenames don't make for an easy job.

Trying to follow upstream ideas about this can mean a plethora of
different locations, each application having their own ideas about
where things should go.  A distro's own rules can say all certs go
within a certain starting location, with a coherent structure to it.
