Log:
  UPDATING: Add long-belated note about certs in base
  
  While the interaction between this and the ETCSYMLINK option of
  security/ca_root_nss isn't necessarily fatal, one should be aware and
  attempt to understand the ramifications of mixing the two.
  
  ports-secteam will be contacted to discuss the default option for branches
  where certs are being included in base.
