Asking google shows far more hits for > Certificate. This pkg-message is in the context of the Web PKI, and TLS. TLS is an IETF standard; IETF documents are published as RFCs, the official repository of which is hosted by the RFC Editor. The RFC Editor maintains a list of expansions of abbreviations: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-style-guide/abbrev.expansion.txt In this context, I believe it is quite unambiguous that CA expands to "certification authority", and a great deal of traffic on the IETF mailing lists supports the lack of ambiguity. Apparently there is ambiguity in the minds of others (yourselves), though; it probably would have been better to have this discussion prior to the commit. I can revert it during the discussion, if you wish. -Ben
