 Replying to [comment:10 darkrain42]:
 > We have no interest in maintaining a full set of root certificates; the
 current ones are the ones needed by the various protocols distributed
 ''with'' pidgin.

 We support XMPP, therefore we should support SSL certs that might be
 issued to XMPP servers. Unfortunately this means quite a lot of them. We
 should probably include the root CA here.

 > Third-party plugins are free to install certificates into the
 appropriate folder (which you have already discovered) as needed.

 While true, I would not want to advocate this.
