Log:
  MFC r355423: UPDATING: Add [less] 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.

+	The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been
+	imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8)
+	utility.  If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package
+	with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be
+	differences between those included in the port and those included in
+	base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update
+	frequency.  Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the
+	format used by the security/ca_root_nss port.
